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........

Excellent as always Chuck--I enjoyed the theme and the tone.. so appropriate! The message hits home. Well done.

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.
