Your Pieces

I couldn't point you out in a crowd

I don't remember your eyes

Or the sound of your voice

You left behind

You left me with no choice

No say in the matter

Back then

I would've given everything I had

To hold your hand

To call you dad

Or maybe I was looking for anyone to hold my hand

And love me

But it wasn't you

You couldn't do it

All those things I'll never know

All those times and places

I will never go

A man in the blue

It should've been you

It could've been you

Had you stayed

Had you loved me

The way you a father should

Maybe then

Just maybe we could've had it all

I wouldn't search for ghosts

Every night

And you wouldn't dream of the face

Of the daughter you could've had

But didn't

I'm so tired

So sick and tired

Of reaching for a man

For a hand

That will never catch me

The one who could understand

Will never be

You'll never love me

Not the way you should

Not the way I could

If I had the chance

Because I swear

Had you given me the chance

I would've loved you

Every piece

Because whether you like it or not

Your pieces

Lay within me
