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, misunderstoods
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
Woah, but the pieces won't pick themselves up, you know
You can fight just like you've been taught
It won't undo the life you've

Got, woah, 'cause the pieces won't pick themselves up, 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, misunderstoods 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

Woah, but the pieces won't pick themselves up, you know
You can fight just like you've been taught,
It won't undo the life you've got woah
'Cause the pieces won't pick themselves up, 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, woah
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, woah

But the pieces won't pick themselves up, you know
You're so tired trying to rewind the mess you've made of your own mind
Woah, but the pieces won't pick themselves up, you know
You can fight just like you've been taught
It won't undo the life you've, got whoa

'Cause the pieces won't pick themselves up, you know
You're so tired trying to rewind the mess you've made of your own mind
Woah, (Everybody knows)but the pieces won't pick themselves up, you know
You can fight just like you've been taught, It won't undo the life you've
Got, woah (Everybody knows) 'cause the pieces won't pick themselves up, you know
