Picking Up The Pieces (the first song I ever wrote)

You and me: walking 'round the Christmas tree,
talking 'bout the things we wanna do.
You alone: thinking of home
and how you need to get away from me.

And now I'm here
I'm counting the stars
I'm counting the scars in my heart

Because I do
miss
you
at times.

Every day I count the stars,
I count the ways I've cried.
Before I ever knew you I never needed you again.
Before I ever wanted you I never wanted to die.

Every day I 'm looking around for a better way to run away.
Every day I've tried to look away but all I see is you running away.
And now I'm here,
I'm counting the stars.
I'm counting the things I'll never forget.

Because I do
miss
you
at times.



Suddenly I pick myself up off the ground
and look around through my tears.
Suddenly I pick myself up off the ground
and look around are you still here?

I never wanted this.
All I ever wanted was your kiss.
