Pieces

Songs I hear
what do they say?
should I leave?
should I stay?
how long will this last?
how long will it take
for all the pieces to fall
into their right place?

You broke me down
I try to stand up
I carry in my purse
bits of my past 
my pockets are empty
I just have my heart
and some tears that remain
in my cup...

I was angry first
now I'm just sad
I see you in the distance
behind a glass
the water under me
has turned black
my face is falling
on the grass...

And songs I hear
what do they say?
maybe I don't know now
maybe one day I will understand
maybe I shouldn't leave
maybe I shouldn't stay
maybe I should just float
on the air.
