Piece of Me
Can't you see?
 Can't you see the part of me you tore out?
 Or do you just not care?
 I know you had to leave
 But you didn't have to lie
 Didn't have to toy with girls' hearts like laying cards
 Carelessly discarding the one you have when you see another
 Better suited to you for a moment
 
 I don't want to see you
 But you're always there
 And I can't stand to look into you r eyes
 Your eyes
 No matter how much you've hurt me,
 
 they pull me in
 Like a moth toward the light
 And I can't stand to hear your voice
 Your beautiful voice
 The voice you used so often to tell me you loved me
 And I can't stand to catch your scent
 Your leather jacket and cologne
 The smell that filled me when I laid
 
 my head on your chest
 And I can't stand to hear you sing
 Like you always do
 That song you always sang to
 
 make me laugh
 And I can't stand to see your smile
 Your smile
 That thing that pulled me to you in the first place
 
 plays havoc with my heart
 And makes the dull pain in my stomach
 Twist, and wrench, and burn
 
 I'll get over you, the pain you've caused
 But the piece of me you've taken
 
 will leave a scar
 And for now, the would is open, fresh,
 
 and painful
 And I miss the words, the hugs, the songs just for me
 
 You left a hole, and I'm just waiting for it to be filled
