The Pieces We Keep

A Small Victory

As your lips turn blue it only reminds me

I'm not free from your nightmare

That I'm living in

When grey skies turn blue

I'm holding on to every scream

Trying to wake you...will you wake up now?

Cut up on the floor

Your arms hold on to me some how

But that's all you'll get for now

We can't pretend that this is...

And as you turn cold

And hold on to me this night

Because the ground will only break you

Like morning skies feeled with glimmering sunrise I'd let you go if I knew

That it would break you as your lips turn

Every shade of blue

Confusing everyone you look at

Can you hear me now?

Screaming out your name

I won't give up on this grey night

It's the pieces that we keep for ourselves

When his lips won't do

Keep mine in mind it's gonna take time

But I'm gonna be fine

When his lips won't do

Keep mine in mind it's gonna take time

I'm gonna be just fine

If only you could mean more to me

If only I could keep cool headed

It's the pieces we keep for ourselves
