Take A Little Piece Of Me

We sit together again 'My parents are Fighting' I'm being pulled apart Like a string in Tug-of war
Offer me your sympathy Take a little piece of me
Joke with me again Tell me cheesy one-liners A deep resounding laugh Happiness spreads across my cheeks
Smile genuinely at my contentment Take a little piece of me
Call you on the phone again 'Mom and Dad are getting a Divorce' Listen patiently as I sob Hear my pain
'I'll pray for you' you say I lean on you again And trust in your presence Take a little piece of me
Today I wouldn't smile You ask 'You OK?' I lie sweetly 'Just tired'. Can't tell because It's you
Slowly you are Slipping away Removing yourself from me Like old tape Slowly, attempting To not leave a mark
But I notice This distance is a boulder One more load to carry My constant, you were And, suddenly You are Dissipating evaporating Washing yourself clean of me
Oblivious, you were To how many pieces you took of me Oblivious, you were To who you've become to me
You were my everything But now I'm left with Nothing
You liar Acting like you'd Be here forever Never forever Not even tomorrow
You've become the final Stone To crush me
You thief You took too many pieces One by one You stole everything Even my heart
You took too many pieces of me
