Somebody pick up my pieces
I'm scattered everywhere
Help me
Put myself back together
Put me somewhere
Way over there
I wanna be taken out
Of contention
I surrender my crown
Somebody pick up my pieces
I think I'm comin' down
Well
I sure thought I had it
But Lord
It's looks like it had me
'Cause the thing
I thought was heaven
Was just falling debris
I may not be crazy
But I sure
Got a hell of a start
Somebody come here
And help me
Pick up my pieces
I think
I'm fallin' apart
But don't follow
My footsteps
Step on over my trail
'Cause the road
Is too dark narrow
Your footin' could fail
And the fall to the bottom
It could tear you all apart
And they'll be here
Pickin' up pieces of you
And your heart
Don't you follow
My footsteps
Step right over my trail
'Cause the road
Is too darn narrow
And your footin' could fail
And the fall to the bottom
It could tear you apart
You'll be right back here
Pickin' up pieces of you
And your heart
Will be here pickin' up
Pieces of you
And your heart
