Cut You a Piece - Alex Brightman, Betsy Wolfe, Jay Armstrong Johnson

Jules, he was fucked up

And Jessie, she was peerless

So of course they fell in love

Jessie let Jules know what was wrong with him

And Jules stopped using, and binging, and pissing his whole life away

And Jules told Jessie he'd die for her, which looking back, was the right thing to say

I cut you a piece of me, I cut you a piece of me

And where I go you will go too

Yes, I am now a part of you

Jules and his Jessie got married in his temple

'Cause they calculated, that Jules was more Jewish than Jessie was Catholic

Jules' mother was pleased

Married six months, when on route 87

Jules turned quickly, in a beaten Mitsubishi

Killed Jessie in a crash

A marriage begun and ended

With broken glass

His life was scattered, and soon was her ash

I cut you a piece of me, I cut you a piece of me

And where you go I will go too

I lost my life when I lost you

Yeah you loved someone so much

That to lose them is to never recover

You've given part of your being to them

And when they go, you can never have it back

You can never have it back

I haven't thought of Jules, or Jessie, or their story in the better part of a year

But warming your hands in mine fills me with terror

That I will lose you, today, or tomorrow, in two years, or seventy

When even the Earth has numbered days

I can give just one thing that stays

I cut you a piece of me, I cut you a piece of me

For where you go I will go too

I am now apart of you

From now on I'm half a soul

Without you I can't be whole

So cut me a piece of you, cut me a piece of you, and where I go you'll always be

Oh, you are the start of me (Focus)

Oh, you are the start of me
