Picking Up the Pieces Lyrics

Before me lies
remains of what used to be life
It's not the first time
I've seen the depths, or felt the cold
Come to terms
With how things are now
I need to find some inner strength to carry on

I hadn't seen it
Picking up the pieces
But now I feel it
Picking up the pieces
Now to deal with it
Picking up the pieces
I'll always feel it,
Picking up those pieces

Down in the dirt, gathering up all the broken fragments
Feels like It's been forever and a day
At times I drift, I feel I'm by the wayside
The great fall now seems so far away

I hadn't seen it
Picking up the pieces
But now I feel it
Picking up the pieces
Now to deal with it
Picking up the pieces
I'll always feel it,
Picking up those pieces

I cast my fears into dead oceans
Need to let these memories fade away
Up til' now, I've gone through the motions
Must claim what's left, it's time make a change

Just let it burn
And build upon these ruins
It's finally my turn
To turn the page and walk away

Just let it burn
And build upon these ruins
It's finally my turn
I should have done this long ago

Peace of mind is better than chaos
Place the blame squarely on me
Take this lesson with you
And don't follow my path
Hate to see the past repeating
Must not let this get to me
Yet here I am, still picking up the pieces once more

Just let it burn
And build upon these ruins
It's finally my turn
To turn the page and walk away

Just let it burn
And build upon these ruins
It's finally my turn
I should have done this long ago
