Only Thing

I break all the pieces watch them shatter pieces big and small to the ground they begin to scatter Leave me if you find the need because I don't find strength in watching myself bleed So if you must, leave me here and I shall find my own way home. without you, I have nothing to fear This shouldn't be our only way to escape the deeds, big and small, that tear our little world apart Suffocating pretension making us fearful of our reflection pained by what we see in the mirror Leave me, if you find the piece the little empty hole that's keeping you the shard of glass reflected on your face the only thing keeping you attached to me So leave me here because without you I find that I have nothing to fear Breaking all the pieces upon the floor, they can only scatter A fragile mistake, became you and I when I watch our perfection begin to shatter
