Pieces I Kept

I lost naive at 16

On a hand me down Ford bench seat

That's when I gave all of me

To a boy who broke my heart

I lost wishful thinking at 22

For the first time I really knew

That some people lie, and some people use

Thought that was the hardest part

Yeah I've been broken

So don't go hoping

You can put me back together

I don't even want you to

By now, I know I'll never

Give every part of me to you

Who I am is who I'll be

What you see is what you get

You're looking at what's left of me

But you can love the pieces I kept

I kept the kinda strong that saved me

The kinda hope that makes me

Wanna give you a chance, 'cause baby

You're worth fighting for

It's the way you love me all time

Like it never crossed your mind that

You can put me back together

I don't even want you to

By now, I know I'll never

Give every part of me to you

Who I am is who I'll be

What you see is what you get

You're looking at what's left of me

But you can love the pieces I kept

I lost bitterness and lonely

I lost emptiness and pain

You fill the space, you don't ask me to change

And I know you never think

You can put me back together

I don't even want you to

By now, I know I'll never

Give every part of me to you

Who I am is who I'll be

What you see is what you get

You're looking at what's left of me

But you can love the pieces I kept
