Apocalyptica
Broken Pieces
[Verse 1]
Too late, this is not the answer
I need to pack it in
I can't pull your heart together
With just my voice alone
A thousand shards of glass I came to meet you in
You cut the peace out of me
[Pre-Chorus]
And as you ripped it all apart, that's when I turned to watch you
And as the light in you went dark, I saw you turn to shadow
If you would salvage some part of you that once knew love
But I'm losing this
And I'm losing you
[Chorus]
Oh, I've gotta turn and run
From faces that you never see
Oh, I've gotta save my blood
From all that you've broken
And pack up these pieces of me
[Verse 2]
It's too late now to stop the process
This was your choice, you let it in
This double life you lead
Is eating you up from within
A thousand shards of glass you pushed beneath my skin
And left me lying there to bleed
[Pre-Chorus]
And as you showed me your scars, I only held you closer
But as the light in you went dark, I saw you turn over
I wanted always to be there for you and close to you
But I'm losing this
And I'm losing you
[Chorus]
Oh, I've gotta turn and run
From faces that you never see
Oh, I've gotta save my blood
From all that you've broken
And pack up these pieces of me
[Post-Chorus]
The broken pieces
Pack up these pieces of me
The broken pieces
Pack up these pieces
[Bridge]
Maybe without me you'll return to all the beauty I once knew
But if I stay, I know we will both be drowned by you holding onto me
[Chorus]
Oh, I've gotta turn and run
From faces that you never see
Oh, I've gotta save my blood
From all that you've broken
And pack up these pieces of me
[Outro]
The broken pieces
Pack up these pieces of me
The broken pieces
Pack up these pieces of me
