Picking up pieces

I really need to talk with you
I keep stepping on the vein
That keeps my lifeline flowing through
I wanna be your perfect stick of glue
But I don´t feel perfect at all
Sad and insecure flaw
I find it hard to hold conversations
I get sweaty sick and I wanna walk away
No, it´s not you it´s strictly me in this situation
I´m wondering will it ever go away...just go away, still
Sometimes I feel like weeping
Awake and when I´m sleeping
Perfecting how to put a game face on
This puzzle I´ve been keeping
Has been in hiding creeping out the closet door
Spilling out onto the floor
How long will I be picking up pieces
How long will I be picking up my heart
Listen...
I´ll be as honest as I feel
I´m getting more paranoid and I´m hearing things
And they never turn out real
It feels like my heart is made of pure steel
It´s just so heavy all the time
Yea I´m scared of death
And I´m scared of living
I gave up on the past cause it´s unforgiving
I misplaced my trust
I watched my word begin to rust
I´m a balloon about to bust
I need a place for reliving
Sometimes I feel like weeping
Awake and when I´m sleeping
Perfecting how to put a game face on
And this puzzle I´ve been keeping
Has been in hiding creeping out the closet door
Spilling out onto the floor
How long will I be picking up pieces
How long will I be picking up my heart
How long (in another space and time)
Will I be picking up pieces in the corner of my mind
How long (its getting oh so hard to find)
Keep picking up pieces in the corner of my mind
But I still walk on
I keep stepping on the vein
That keeps my lifeline flowing through
I wanna be your perfect stick of glue
But I don´t feel perfect at all
Sad and insecure flaw
I find it hard to hold conversations
I get sweaty sick and I wanna walk away
No, it´s not you it´s strictly me in this situation
I´m wondering will it ever go away...just go away, still
Sometimes I feel like weeping
Awake and when I´m sleeping
Perfecting how to put a game face on
This puzzle I´ve been keeping
Has been in hiding creeping out the closet door
Spilling out onto the floor
How long will I be picking up pieces
How long will I be picking up my heart
Listen...
I´ll be as honest as I feel
I´m getting more paranoid and I´m hearing things
And they never turn out real
It feels like my heart is made of pure steel
It´s just so heavy all the time
Yea I´m scared of death
And I´m scared of living
I gave up on the past cause it´s unforgiving
I misplaced my trust
I watched my word begin to rust
I´m a balloon about to bust
I need a place for reliving
Sometimes I feel like weeping
Awake and when I´m sleeping
Perfecting how to put a game face on
And this puzzle I´ve been keeping
Has been in hiding creeping out the closet door
Spilling out onto the floor
How long will I be picking up pieces
How long will I be picking up my heart
How long (in another space and time)
Will I be picking up pieces in the corner of my mind
How long (its getting oh so hard to find)
Keep picking up pieces in the corner of my mind
But I still walk on
