Pieces

Pieces of my heart rattle around
In a box made of expectations
And hopes that won't come true
None of it's real, it won't last
This doesn't count for anything
Because I know it's not real

So I handed you my heart
With some duct tape and glue
You put it back together
Better than before it broke
It's not perfect yet but it's
Getting better all the time

Did you know I'm addicted
I can't help thinking about you
Always mentally lingering
Wondering how long it will last
Waiting for it to fall apart
Expecting it to break again

But I'm beginning to think that
Maybe this time it won't end
Like it should, and always has
Will it last or die, pass or fail
Who can tell what is to come
For now I'll take what I can get

You fixed my broken pieces
Put them back together
You filled my empty holes
And made them better than
Before you came along and
Showed me what I can be
