LYRIC SAMPLE: "PICKING UP THE PIECES"

PICKING UP THE PIECES
OF MY DREAM SHATTERED LIFE,
THE PEOPLE STOP AND STARE.

IT’S GOING TO BE
ANOTHER LONELY NIGHT,
KNOWING THAT YOU,
WON’T BE THERE.

(Ch.)
I WISH I’D BEEN
HONEST TO YOU,
NOW THERE’S JUST
LONELY WORDS.

I KNOW I COULD’VE
STAYED TRUE,
BUT I WENT WITH THE HERD.

(V. 2)
NOW I’M CHASING THE WIND,
WANTING YOU BACK, AGAIN.
BUT I WILL NEVER TELL,
MY LIFE WITHOUT YOU,
H’S BEEN HELL.

DON’T WANT TO GIVE IN AND SAY,
THAT I WAS WRONG,
MY PRIDE GETS IN THE WAY.

(Ch. 2)
BUT I KEEP PRAYING,
I KEEP SAYING,
“GIVE ME JUST ONE MORE DAY;
I DON’T CARE,
ANYWHERE,
JUST MEET ME…
TODAY.
