Your eyes turn to rain when
They look at me
I wonder, does it storm when
You look at him?
Or maybe it shines, the sun behind
Your eyelids because he is
Everything you wanted
To see, to hold you

I can't even hold your rain
In my dry, dry palms
Because I'm drowning in my own

Aren't we all just broken pieces
Of everything we wanted to be?
All the shattered remains of dreams,
Scattered for the world to see?

I see a piece of you, before me now
Reflecting every word you said to me
If I pick it up, I would cut myself
On the jagged edge of your sanity

Yet I hold it tighter, this little piece of you
I can't give it to you, not just yet
I'm still not done picking up
All these dreams you left to crack

You don't see the way all these pieces
Shine your smile back at me and you
Won't you let me place the last shard now?
Won't you let it sparkle like it should?

Because you don't see the little pieces,
All the ones I've left far behind
Hidden under a smile because
I still need you to pick up mine ~
