You'D Better Hurry

'Seems like... your're drifting further, from my mind Between you and me, all I need is a little time Give me long enough and I'll be strong enough To push your memory out the door You'd better hurry... if you're gonna hurt me..anymore Chorus: I've been picking up the pieces And I'm down to just a few 'Searching for the one that says He's over you The pain will stop, when the last teardrop Finally hits the floor You'd better hurry... if you're gonna hurt me..anymore Each day I think of you...a little less One day, I'll close my eyes and get some rest You could always make... my old heart break When you wanted to, before But you'd better hurry... if you're gonna hurt me..anymore! I've been picking up the pieces And I'm down to just a few........ Protected by copyright Collab. with

I highlighted this line "You'd better hurry... if you're gonna hurt me..anymore" as my favorite line when I realized it was a recurring theme. Bravo. I could see you making some big money off this by adding a few more verses and selling it to Blake Shelton.

Great song Chuck, I wrote one in the same vein called picking up the pieces of my heart, country music seems to spawn these melancholy melodies.
