Picking Up the Pieces Songtext
von Paloma Faith

Do you think of her when you′re with me?
Repeat the memories you made together, whose face do you see?
Do you wish I was a bit more like her?
Am I too loud? I play the clown to cover up all these doubts

Perfect heart, she's flawless
She′s the other woman
Shining in her splendor
You were lost

Now she's gone
And I'm picking up the pieces
I watch you cry, but you don′t see that I′m the one by your side
'Cause she′s gone
In her shadow, is it me you see?
'Cause all that′s left, is you and I
And I'm picking up the pieces she left behind


I found a photograph behind the TV
You looked so happy, are you missing the way it used to be?
And I have changed this room around more often lately
It′s clear that we, and these four walls
Still know it's hers and yours

Perfect heart, she's flawless
She′s the other woman
Shining in her splendor
You were lost

Now, she′s gone
And I'm picking up the pieces
I watch you cry, but you don′t see that I'm the one by your side
′Cause she's gone
In her shadow, is it me you see?
′Cause all that's left, is you and I
And I'm picking up the pieces she left behind

Are we liars in denial?
Are we smoke without the fire?
Tell me, please, is this worth it?
I deserve it


′Cause she′s gone
And I'm picking up the pieces
I watch you cry, but you don′t see that I'm the one by your side
′Cause she's gone
In her shadow, is it me you see?
′Cause all that's left, is you and I
And I'm picking up the pieces she left behind

(Picking up the pieces) Oh, I′m picking up the pieces
A broken heart (picking up the pieces)
Who will save them? Who will save them?
Picking up the pieces
Ooh, I′m picking up the pieces
Somebody save me!
Somebody save me!
Oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
