In Pieces

I know I'm breaking every rule, but I can't keep skipping through this life You lay there so quietly, and I know you won't listen, but I'll try 'Cause people come and people go Riding high, escape the low Running away when it ain't so easy So before you leave in the morning, I just have to know That even though this won't last forever And our lives are only passing through Could I be more than another person off your list to do? Or can we only love, only love, only love in pieces? Tired of closing each chapter all on my own There may be two or three of you and me But a warm bed doesn't mean I'm not alone I'm not alone, no We do a dance, we do it well Close enough, but never tell anything That's gonna be misleading So before we act like it's nothing, I just have to know That even though this won't last forever And our lives are only passing through Could I be more than another person off your list to do? Or must we only love, only love, only love in pieces? Can we only love, only love, only love in pieces? I'm not saying I'm incomplete, not desperately asking why But how are we constantly just chasing a momentary high We all need a connection, and I bet if you let me right in You'd see more than pieces, all these leases for our lives, oh (Even though this won't last forever) (And our lives are only passing through) passing through I could be more than another person off your list to do But we only love, only love, only love in pieces Can we only love, only love, only love in pieces? I'm worth more than pieces Oh, oh-oh, no, you never know Oh, oh-oh, no, you never know Oh, oh-oh, no, you never know Oh, oh-oh, no
