You turned me into a poetess With a love I can only express Through music and letters and artistic endeavors And things I won't confess A little piece of forever Was that too much to ask? But we all know the answer And that is that love doesn't always last But how could you not see me? And how could you not feel me break? Into a million pieces A million pieces The heart's not an organ that knows When it's time to move on and let go It beats for tomorrow and dances to sorrow While the head screams no But how I wish you'd understand But I will never force my hand I'll remain a million pieces A million pieces All the oceans and the deserts And all the lonely places where wounds go to hide But life doesn't spare and cupid's arrow doesn't care Where it lands or who it hurts or what hearts are compromised If you're listening up above Can you restore what I once was? From a million pieces A million pieces
