lyrics

I've taken little pieces of everybody
Drawn water from the ground underneath my feet
Grown up with a promise I had to keep
Now I'm dropping little pieces that were once me

I watched you fall
Or I thought that's what I saw when you were asking for a way out
But I was upside down
And my head was being smothered by my body, overwound

There will always be a time when I remember
Things that you would say could be
Now and then I worry 'bout what's still inside
And what your love did to me

I've taken little pieces of everybody
Drawn water from the ground underneath my feet
Grown up with a promise I had to keep
Now I'm dropping little pieces that were once me

When we were young
It was only for a moment; I believed in what you found
We had our way
Of working with each other and exchanging dialogue

Once there was a way for us to be together
Then it was no mystery
At the time I was so blind I hardly noticed
Just what your love did to me

I've taken little pieces of everybody
Drawn water from the ground underneath my feet
Grown up with a promise I had to keep
Now I'm dropping little pieces that were once me

Now I'm moving up
And I'm starting to take notice when my thoughts are burning down
So when you come my way
I can listen to your thinking, I can see it to the end

I know what it's like to hear a lot of things and
Not be sure what the truth is
When I think about the times I tried to tell you
I guess you weren't listening
