Difford & Tilbrook - Picking Up The Pieces lyrics

(difford/tilbrook) Words escape me now I'm in prison Sentenced to a life of tears Now she hates me, that's her decision Waiting for the smoke to clear So I can see the damage of the fire That raged through our love So I can see the damage I can try And salvage our love I'm picking up the pieces Maybe they'll fit some day Love recalls me back from darkness It whispers to an eager ear She ignores me, why so heartless Waiting for the smoke to clear So she can see the damage of the fire That raged through our love So she can see the damage she can try And salvage our love Picking up the pieces And putting them down again There's never a match for a burning desire To fall in love And put out the fire that's been burning Picking up the pieces And putting them down again Picking up the pieces Maybe they'll fit someday
