"Pickin' Up The Pieces" lyrics

Felt like the stars fell down before us
In a dream of you and me
Then a storm came out of nowhere
Turned my peace to misery

'Cause I've been running now for days
Picking up the pieces of love
I'm not so sure it'll go my way
That's just the price of love
I am—oh—so tired of loneliness
But the world don't change
And I can't have you. You've gone away
You were the reason, you are the reason I stay

This fairy tale that you painted for me
You only see what you wanna see
But I'm inclined to tell you something
You never show me how you cared for me

'Cause I've been running now for days
Picking up the pieces of love
I'm not so sure it'll go my way
That's just the price of love
I am—oh—so tired of loneliness
But the world don't change
And I can't have you. You've gone away
You were the reason, you are the reason I stay

I stay
I stay
I stay
I stay
I stay
I stay
The reason I stay
The reason I stay

Oh, oh, oh, oh
