the years wore through us both together
words it seems don't make good seams
like thin and cheap imitation leather
tearing away from this old routine
now I keep on tryin'
to forget what you said but not how you said it
retracing every line
in every letter you sent 'til I can finally admit it
got all these scattered pieces
pieces that don't go
with all the other pieces
pieces that I know
I tried holding on through the weary weather
but now it seems we don't fit that dream
like colors fade in a vintage sweater
all that remains are glitchinâ memories
now I keep on tryin'
to forget what you said but not how you said it
retracing every line
in every letter you sent 'til I can finally admit it
got all these scattered pieces
pieces that don't go
with all the other pieces
pieces that I know
memories flash before my eyes and I can't take it
knowing the words you said were lies and seein' you fake it
you fed me hope so I'd exhale, told me patience would prevail
I held on tight but slipped away from all of you and everything
got all these scattered pieces
pieces that don't go
with all the other pieces
pieces that I know, yeah
ain't prayin' to a savior for us
(these pieces they don't go)
just lookin' for a stranger to trust
(with any pieces that I know)
ain't prayin' to a savior for us
(your pieces just don't go)
just lookin' for a stranger to trust
and give 'em all I am
