Sew Me How


The stitches aren't quite right
The patches not nearly outta sight
The string no where near silk
My hands are scarred
from every needle prick

I promised you
the doll that seemed beyond repair
To patch you back together

Patch by patch and chorus by chorus
I search my bin for one more sin
To patch together one more chorus
Hopefully enough to fix the both of us


I'm gonna do what I promised
Put you back together
But I need you to promise
When I've got you backtogether
That you'll take a little of you
And give a little to me

I'm just a little missing
Just a little torn
But when I'm finished
I wanna be as good
As I fixed you
