Pick Up the Pieces

Genre: Americana/Country
Lyrics
Smoke and ashes fill the air
Not much goes on around here
My soul is rotting from the inside out
And I’m a prisoner in this house
You betrayed me
You never saved me now
You left me stranded behind the wood falling down
And bit of ember and your words
Are burning my arms and legs
But you never came back
To pick up the pieces
The room is spinning in slow motion
I’m staring out a breaking window wondering if he’ll ever come
The heat is rising and I’m falling straight to my knees
You betrayed me
You never saved me
You ran as fast as you could
And bits of ember
Are burning my arms and legs
But you never came back
To pick up the pieces
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
You betrayed me
You never saved me
You left me stranded behind the wood falling down
And bits of ember and your words
Are burning my arms and legs
But you never came back
To pick up the pieces
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
You watched it burn down
and never came back
to pick up the pieces
