You've come to me an open book you say Still those dog eared pages get in the way All those slings and arrows I never pointed my dear Leave me shoring the dam And soothing the beast of your wild frontier Pieces of people and shapes of their hearts Layers of loving you've worn from the start Footsteps before me that carved who you are Echoes of someone you wear as a scar You're in pieces Pieces You're in pieces baby
Under the rug buried in the dust Hides a little boy who cannot trust With your bow and arrow Ready and pointed my dear Leave me lost in a harbor Soothing your ghosts til they disappear Pieces of people and shapes of their hearts Layers of loving you've worn from the start Footsteps before me that carved who you are Echoes of someone you wear as a scar You're in pieces Pieces You're in pieces baby
