Missing pieces

I was in the shower so I could not tell my nose was bleeding
Dripped down my body to the floor right below my feet and
I looked in the mirror at my face, I thought I had a disease
And there´s a woman with her fingers in my ice box
She peeked around the corner and asked me if I´m okay
She put the ice upon my tongue and then it melted away
Alright, oak floor, soft pine bedroom door, yeah
Speak easy, make her mine if she´s bored, yeah
And there´s a dry pine ceiling that is out of my reach
I woke up and my hands were gone, yeah
I looked down and my legs were long gone
I felt for her with my shoulder
But there was nobody there
I thought she left a note, just a tag on the pillow there
And then I noticed there´s a rag next to my ear
The clock was ringing but it wasn´t nothing that I could hear
[Break:]
Alright
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Sometimes someone controls everything about you
And when they tell you that they just can´t live without you
They ain´t lyin´, they´ll take pieces of you
And they´ll stand above you and walk away
That´s right and take a part of you with them
Dripped down my body to the floor right below my feet and
I looked in the mirror at my face, I thought I had a disease
And there´s a woman with her fingers in my ice box
