- Bring Me Pieces - Rough Demo at the Piano Mark Andrew 2:43
When we aren’t going back, and still want what we left behind.
Lyrics
If I poured my soul into a song With warmth and tenderness alive in every word And if a current carried it along The love I sang would never be the song you heard. Guess I don’t need you anymore But I still look back and wonder Will pieces wash up on the shore Of the man I wanna be If I hide it all behind my back And try for bulletproof. never dare to rest Instead of re-rehearsing each attack Could I maybe put my heart back in my chest. ‘Cause I don’t need you anymore But I still look back and wonder Will pieces wash up on the shore Of the man I wanna be It’s hard to hear a tender whisper Through the thunder of the storm Maybe tough is how we have to be Til we learn that we are strong No I don’t need you anymore But I still look back and wonder Bring me pieces from before Of the man I wanna be
