Lyrics

Tell me what it's like To not wake up, wake up and wonder Every single night, always I'm sat bolt upright Watching her sleep, I wish I could join her Every single night, always When I'm falling in, when I'm falling down She knows just how to sort me out She knows just how When I lose she lays on me and nothing else matters She takes all my broken pieces and she puts them together When I'm through she stands by me, when everything shatters She takes all my broken pieces and she makes them fit better All my broken pieces I don't know what it means To lean on someone and not pull them under But she's so good to me, always She showed me what it's like To not wake up, wake up and wonder Every single night, always She told me I could start again Turn off the lights, turn off my head And start again When I lose she lays on me and nothing else matters She takes all my broken pieces and she puts them together When I'm through she stands by me, when everything shatters She takes all my broken pieces and she makes them fit better All my broken pieces All my broken pieces She knows what I need, knows what I need, knows what I need Yes, she knows what I need, knows what I need, oh When I lose she lays on me and nothing else matters She takes all my broken pieces and she puts them together When I'm through she stands by me, when everything shatters She takes all my broken pieces and she makes them fit better All my broken pieces All my broken pieces All my broken pieces All my broken pieces (ah, yeah) All my broken pieces (ooh, yeah) All my broken pieces (oh) All my broken pieces (oh-oh-oh-oh) All my broken pieces
