Lyrics
In Pieces
black
as in blue hues
crashing waves through
her midnight eyes
said think you know me
can you feel me
she gives and she's taken
so here lies
and ode to the girl
innocence
is lost
she shields her eyes
so here lies
and ode to the girl
innocence
in pieces
inside
as in "closed to"
breaks the words through
her best evening smile
said
is it only
what you owe me
she gives and she's taken
(chorus)
