Pieces of Me - Lori McKenna

I have been a poet all my life

With really not too much to say

So you can push me anywhere you like

But you can’t push me away

My life is written down on papers in my room

And yours is bottled up somewhere

So I’ll send you letters from half across the moon

And it will cross your mind but you won’t dare

Pieces of me can’t help you

Pieces of me can’t let you fall down

Where you want to be

I can hold you like water in my hands

Yet you say that you can’t leave

But I am dripping wet with things to understand

And you are trying to believe

Pieces of me can’t help you

Pieces of me can’t let you fall down

Where you want to be

Tired arms can’t pull the sun back in the sky

Angry hearts can’t remember why they even try

I have been a poet all my life

With really not too much to say

You can push me anywhere you like

But I won’t let you push me

Down, where you want to be

Oh down, where you want to be
