Pieces of the people we love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't try to tell me that my intentions are untrue.
My eyes like butterflies you caught 'em and they're
open wide.
Clouded and hazy future clear whenever I'm with you.
Just think of all the things we could do to pass the
time.
It's a walk in the park, it goes:
Na na na, na na na, na na na na na na.
Na na na, na na na, na na na na na na.
Cuz everybody's got a little pieces of someone they
hide.
It's okay, it's the way we distract until the day that
we die.
And though our future's gone uncertain it's gonna be
alright.
Cuz though I'm leaving longing leaves me ever by your
side.
And all our time together is tearing me apart... I
can't hold you tomorrow but I hold you in my heart.
And all our time together is tearing me apart... I
can't hold out forever, but I hold you in my heart.
Don't try to tell me that my intentions are untrue.
Don't even bother tryin' to tell me cuz you live a
lie.
Cuz a moment or a minute I can see it through.
And have a precious little second of you by my side.
It goes:
Na na na, na na na, na na na na na na.
Na na na, na na na, na na na na na na.
And our futuer's lookin bright.
In all the little pieces of the people that we keep
inside.
Cuz you can do-make-say-think-laugh-sink-drink all
night...
All the little visions all the little moments that we
keep inside.
All our time together is tearing me apart... I can't
hold you tomorrow but I hold you in my heart.
All our time together is tearing me apart... I can't
hold out forever, but I hold you in my heart.
