I gathered up the pieces
and found myself some glue
I gathered up the pieces
To make myself quite new
For I'd said I was broken
Saw myself in parts across the floor
Shattered from this wounding world
And all that she abhorred
I gathered up the pieces
Saw the broken heart and veins
Held the remnants of a human lung
And cried for all life's pains
I gathered up the pieces
Vestiges of the past
I gathered up the pieces
I knew it'd never last
