Pieces

There's a sunny place
in Southern California where I can go,
when I need a break from the world I know
that times will get harder, but
I'll stay the same no matter the change
And when I arrive
I'll throw down my bags on the floor and I
I'll thank the world I've got these friends of mine
that sun that shines,
these songs that get me high
when I feel the need to sing

You gave up when you left me for the west
guess the coast and the ocean calm your stress
Now you're gone
you left me in pieces
You gave up when you lost the words to say
When you find them, come on back to me
For now you're gone, and you left me in pieces

I've got those friends in mind,
that help me get through all the shitty times
I drink myself into these lullabies
that hide my eyes
but help me to believe I'm not as stupid as you think Cause I show my pride
in the form of these black and blue colored eyes
a sign that my love should be realized
Simple defines
an easy way to hide (yourself)
You threw my back against the wall

You gave up when you left me for the west
guess the coast and the ocean calm your stress
Now you're gone, you left me in pieces
You gave up when you lost the words to say
When you find them, come on back to me
For now you're gone, and you left me in pieces

I think we're stuck here in between
misguided hearts that beat with apathy
Don't tell me that we've gone this far
without thinking of fate

You gave up when you left me for the west
guess the coast and the ocean calm your stress
Now you're gone, you left me in pieces
You gave up when you lost the words to say
When you find them, come on back to me
For now you're gone, and you left me in pieces

I was down on my knees
when you left me in pieces
