Puzzle Pieces

Top of the staircase I hear the glass break
Along with my faith in love
The tears that I cried then rained down on my skin
The drought has yet to come

I realized when I was eight
Love is a fable that people fake
Subscribe to the story like it's theirs to tell
Last 23 years I've been searching like hell
I haven't seen it
Nobody wants my puzzle pieces
My broken puzzle pieces oh
Ohh Ohh
My broken puzzle pieces

Close the door of my bedroom, wish it was soundproof
Words cut like a thousand knives
The pain fit like a glove it did then and still does
I don't want this hand in love

I realized when I was eight
Love is a fable that people fake
Subscribe to the story like it's theirs to tell
Last 23 years I've been searching like hell
I haven't seen it
Nobody wants my puzzle pieces
My broken puzzle pieces oh
Ohh Ohh
My broken puzzle pieces

Do I change my shape
Take letters out my name
Lose the parts of myself that don't fit in your game
Can I leave my past in the back of my mind
Will the memories haunt me for the rest of my life

I'll realize at 103
that love's not the monster I made it out to be
I'll subscribe to the story like it's mine to tell
when I was eight years old this shit hurt like hell
I finally see it
Found someone with the same puzzle pieces
The same puzzle pieces oh
Ohh Ohh
The same puzzle pieces
The same puzzle pieces
