Verse 1:
(hold)
  Well this hurts me more
than I can stand to say
                   
In just one sitting you
left the room so
        
I could pray

  So I'll pace the
halls to see
If I could find a
hole in something

  Or maybe places
     
to escape


Refrain 1:
Oh and everybody
                
knows this is the part
Of breaking down
           
in anybody's arms
I'm reaching down and
                
hoping this one's ours
    
God please let this take


Chorus 1:
         
And then I fell into
                       
pieces and she fell into me
                     
Saying "Play me a song It's been
                                  
too long since I've heard you sing"


Interlude: --


Verse 2:
(hold)
  And you got here
just in time
To let me know I was
worth saving

  It's nothing more than
        
for the hearts

  Too proud to breathe
But I'm too scared to say
the things worth saying

  Who knew this trip
              
would be this hard?


Refrain 2:
As I'm looking to the
                
sky to count the stars
                
I wonder if you see
              
them where you are
I'm tied above my
               
knees and pray tomorrow
         
grace no pay


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Chorus 2:
                      
And yeah we all fall to pieces
                        
But at least you fell to me
              
But this is a wrong way
                             
Tell me goodnight and let it go


Bridge:
 
I stand here and

you just pray
   
My life will flee
And I'd say safe
(Repeat)


2nd voice: while singing Bridge
I'm a priset mess
That rapid changes
Just say don't rip away


(Repeat Refrain 1)


Chorus 3:
         (silence)
And then I fell into
 
pieces and she fell into me
                     
Saying "Play me a song It's been
                                  
too long since I've heard you sing"


(Repeat Chorus 1)
(Repeat Chorus 2)
