Pieces

I'm falling to pieces and I don't know why Sometimes I feel so low that I just sit and cry I want so badly to get up but something's weighing me down I try so hard to force a smile but all I can do is frown I'm falling to pieces and I can't get it together Sometimes I feel my life is full of grey and stormy weather It's tough to keep my head to the sky When each and every day I struggle to get by My life might be in little bitty pieces right now But piece by piece I'm gonna turn this thing around

hey, I see you won in the contest too. GOOD one. And I really like how you used another idiomatic expression at the end of this one: piece by piece.
