John Hamilton Poet Lyric

Picking Up the Pieces of My Heart

PICKING UP THE PIECES OF MY HEART

Thunderstorms and lightening,
Can be very frightening,
Stormy weather keeps reminding me of you

Sometimes I don’t feel like waking,
My emotions keep on quaking,
And, my heart keeps breaking over you

Where’s my happy ever after
The rain drowns all the laughter
Hope hangs from the rafters, after losing you


Chorus
Picking up the pieces of my heart
This time you have gone way too far
I can see it clearly, loving you wasn’t that smart
(Now I'm) picking up the pieces of my heart


I always thought we’d be together
After promising forever
Forever’s gone, now that the tethers torn in two


Now my summers turned to winter
And my hearts left in splinters
You must have felt that I would hinder you


Chorus
Picking up the pieces of my heart
This time you have gone way too far
I can see it clearly, loving you wasn’t that smart
(Now I'm) picking up the pieces of my heart


Bridge
You can’t tell when love begins
If it will last, or if it ends
Isn’t that the mystery of it all
The ecstasy when love rises, 
and the crashing as it falls


Chorus
Picking up the pieces of my heart
This time you have gone way too far
I can see it clearly, loving you wasn’t that smart
(Now I'm) picking up the pieces of my heart


I can see it clearly, loving you wasn’t that smart
Now I’m, picking up the pieces of my heart
I can see it clearly, loving you wasn’t that smart
Now I’m picking up the pieces of my heart
