May 2004
I hadn't seen you
In almost a year
The day that I longed for
was finally here
but then it was over
before it could start
and I was left lonely
with a hole in my hear
And I've got pieces of you
taped to my wall
Glued in my scrapbook
And on the shelf in the hall
and there's pieces of you
that I miss every day
why oh why
do you have to be
so far away?
Put my eggs in a basket
Didn't think they would break
Didn't know loving you
would be a mistake
Not sure that it is one
but I'm here all alone
and I've got a big empty
I can't fill with the phone
And I've got pieces of you
that I wear in my hair
and all these little momentos
that show me you care
but there's pieces of you
That I miss every day
Why oh why
do you have to be
so far away?
You can say that it's rotten
Say that it's lame
It's just life circumstances
and there's no one to blame
You can say seize the moment
And live for the day
It won't stop me wishing
you could just stay
You've got pieces of me
You take every time
Don't think you mean to
to commit such a crime
and there's pieces of you
that I miss every day
why oh why
do you have to be
so far away?
Don't you know I want you near me, someplace you can hear me
not so far away, not so far away(fade out x3)
