Back

shes picking up her pieces 
and already going back
hes taking off her coat
and putting it on the rack
they start the song and dance again
but every note is a shout
and the steps bruise her toes
he refuses to leave
so she takes her tears and goes
he calls and the apologies stack 
shes picking up her pieces
and already going back
