Little Pieces

I catch a picture in a frame on the mantle
Next to the one of my brother
You were one of a kind my friend
With a way like no other
Then you said you could be mine no longer
You said she stole away your heart
You said you should have been stronger
You didn't mean to tear me apart
Little pieces ended up on the floor
Cutting my feet as I walk
Little pieces like the little words you used
The very last time we talked
It's been four months since I heard from you last
And I opened up my mail
The handwriting was all too familiar
The underlines and the trails
It read she left you said goodbye
You were lost and alone without me
Couldn't we give it just one more try
You still loved me couldn't I see
Little pieces ended up on the floor
Like the little words you tried to say
Little pieces thrown in the trash
My love you've had your day
Little pieces ended up on the floor
Cutting my feet as I walk
Little pieces like the little words you used
The very last time the very last time
Little pieces of my broken heart
Little pieces of my broken mind
Little pieces of broken glass
