Icon For Hire - Pieces Lyrics:
You’re not running just enough of a wreck. To hold the hurt heart everybody expects.
And I know you wrote a history of making a mess. Misunderstood’s an understatement at best.
How long, how long will you demand my sympathy.
We all know hurt so why do you feel the need to.
Put on a pretty face, give them a pretty taste.
No one’s buying it anyway.
You’re so tired trying to rewind the mess you’ve made of your own mind.
But the pieces won’t pick up themselves you know.
You can fight just like you’ve been taught, it won’t undo the life you’ve got.
‘Cause the pieces won’t pick up themselves you know.
You’re not running just enough of a wreck. To hold the hurt heart everybody expects.
And I know you wrote a history of making a mess. Misunderstood’s an understatement at best.
You say you try, you’re after something better.
It doesn’t show, you’re still not put together.
Put on a pretty face, give them a pretty taste.
No one’s buying it anyway.
You’re so tired trying to rewind the mess you’ve made of your own mind.
But the pieces won’t pick up themselves you know.
You can fight just like you’ve been taught, it won’t undo the life you’ve got.
‘Cause the pieces won’t pick up themselves you know.
Everybody knows liars never make it for long.
I am getting close I can see just what’s going on.
Everybody knows, everybody knows.
I remember what you were before you gave it away.
You’ve never been the type to watch the pieces fall where they may.
And now you’ve let it go. But I know you know.
Now the pieces won’t pick up themselves you know.
You’re so tired trying to rewind the mess you’ve made of your own mind.
But the pieces won’t pick up themselves you know.
You can fight just like you’ve been taught, it won’t undo the life you’ve got.
‘Cause the pieces won’t pick up themselves you know.
You’re so tired trying to rewind the mess you’ve made of your own mind.
But the pieces won’t pick up themselves you know.
You can fight just like you’ve been taught, it won’t undo the life you’ve got.
‘Cause the pieces won’t pick up themselves you know.
And I know you wrote a history of making a mess. Misunderstood’s an understatement at best.
How long, how long will you demand my sympathy.
We all know hurt so why do you feel the need to.
Put on a pretty face, give them a pretty taste.
No one’s buying it anyway.
You’re so tired trying to rewind the mess you’ve made of your own mind.
But the pieces won’t pick up themselves you know.
You can fight just like you’ve been taught, it won’t undo the life you’ve got.
