[Verse 1] When I was young, I was misunderstood But you made me believe I was the one, I was the one that could in every way I just gotta thank you Oh, so long ago, I thought it was a dream Holding my hand, you saw me through, saw me through everything and I I just gotta thank you [Chorus] You made me want it more, you made me drive it home You made me stronger, fighter, maybe a little wiser And all my dreams and all my fears and all my hopes came my way You were there picking up the pieces, picking up pieces And every little thing we said and did, it doesn't matter now, here with me You're just there picking up the pieces, picking up pieces [Verse 2] Life dances around and drags it down it seems But it doesn't mean that I'm hurt anyway, life's full of make-believe, so I I just gotta thank you Some things only matter now only for a day Build walls up only to tear them down, breaking ground every day and I I just gotta thank you [Chorus] You made me want it more, you made me drive it home You made me stronger, fighter, maybe a little wiser And all my dreams and all my fears and all my hopes came my way You were there picking up the pieces, picking up pieces And every little thing we said and did, it doesn't matter now, here with me You're just there picking up the pieces, picking up pieces [Bridge] I play my piano, you play your guitar, drink whiskey shots, dance on the bar Throw your hands up 'til the morning comes, bright lights in the sky 'til we see the sun Throw your phones up now for everyone to see, no shame in hiding who you want to be Only on once now, why do we care? Lights in the sky with a glitter in your hair With a glitter in your hair [Chorus] You made me want it more, you made me drive it home You made me stronger, fighter, maybe a little wiser And all my dreams and all my fears and all my hopes came my way You were there picking up the pieces, picking up pieces And every little thing we said and did, it doesn't matter now, here with me You're just there picking up the pieces, picking up pieces of life [Outro] (Instrumental)
