Missing Piece

Well it's a big routine
Lifes it's machine
So I'm hoping for you
That I'm not what your used to
And you think of me
As some kind of treat
And escape from your day
But your not really running away
And if I was all that you have, girl
It sucks when I see you this bad, girl
And when you wake up today
I say I'm sorry but nothing has changed
Your upset written on letterhead
Your up front but formal
And more pissed than normal
You can talk to me
Just rest your feet
I want you to know
They won't take you if I don't let go
That fight was all that you had, girl
And why do you treat me this bad, girl
Your puzzle is still incomplete
And I think I'm your missing piece
But we're so far along
We're so far along
We're so far we're missing a piece
We're so far along
We're so far along
But we're so far we're missing a piece
