(Keep on picking up
Pieces of my heart
Chewing gum will keep them
From falling apart)
He came as lovely
In reality boring
Roadside for daydream
And I'm asking myself babe
"Why were we alone?
Shouldn't be alone
Why were we alone?"
And it's a lovely fascination
We can't keep holding on to pretend
And it's a lovely fascination
In the poses of your ghost again
Keep on picking up
Pieces of my heart
Chewing gum will keep them
From falling apart
Keep on picking up
Pieces of my heart
Chewing gum will keep them
From falling apart
Now ache for silence
Waking up the lion
Inside me, fighting
Making love with a question
"Why were we alone?
Shouldn't be alone
Why were we alone?"
And it's a lovely fascination
We can't keep holding on to pretend
And it's a lovely fascination
The poses of your ghost again
And it's a lovely conversation I'm having
With myself again
And it's a four-nation debate
On my brain, it
Comes and goes again
Keep on picking up
Pieces of my heart
Chewing gum will keep them
From falling apart
Keep on picking up
Pieces of my heart
Chewing gum will keep them
From falling apart
(Falling apart
We're falling apart
We're falling apart)
I will hold you in my lungs
Until our secrets cut my tongue
Oh, I will hold you in my lungs
I will hold you in my lungs
Until our secrets cut my tongue
No, I will hold you in my lungs
Keep on picking up
Pieces of my heart
Chewing gum will keep them
From falling apart
Keep on picking up
Pieces of my heart
Chewing gum will keep them
From falling apart
We're falling apart
We're falling apart
We're falling apart
