“Pieces of Me”-Ashlee Simpson

On a Monday I am waiting

Tuesday, I am fading

And by Wednesday, I can't sleep

Then the phone rings, I hear you

And the darkness is a clear view

Cause you’ve come to rescue me

Fall, with you I fall so fast

I can hardly catch my breath

I hope it lasts

Ohhhh

It seems like I can finally

Rest my head on something real

I like the way that feels

Ohhhh

It's as if you know me better

Than I ever knew myself

I love how you can tell

All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

I am moody and messy

I get restless and it's senseless

How you never seem to care

When I'm angry, you listen

Make me happy, it's your mission

And you won't stop till I'm there

Fall, sometimes I fall so fast

When I hit that bottom crash

You're all I have

Ohhhh

It seems like I can finally

Rest my head on something real

I like the way that feels

Ohhhh

It's as if you know me better

Than I ever knew myself

I love how you can tell

All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

How do you know

Everything I'm about to say

Am I that obvious?

And if it's written on my face

I hope it never goes away

Yeah!

On a Monday I am waiting

And by Tuesday I am fading

Into your arms

So I can breathe

Ohhhh

It seems like I can finally

Rest my head on something real

I like the way that feels

Ohhhh

It's as if you know me better

Than I ever knew myself

I love how you can tell

Ohhhh

I love how you can tell

Ohhhh

I love how you can tell

All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

All the Pieces, pieces, pieces of me
