Pick Up the Pieces

_Pick Up the Pieces_ Title? Verse 1 Wind cuts cold, she’s gone before the dawn, Cards were stacked the second you went all in. Odds were never yours, you just refused to see, Life’s too short to bleed for a game this mean. Chorus Pick up the pieces, Dirty laundry left the scars, Walk away with nothing But a broken heart. Pick up the pieces… Yeah, pick up the pieces. Verse 2 Lipstick on the counter, floor’s littered with fool’s gold, Promises glittered but they never paid out. She counted me dead before I ever drew in, Ace up her sleeve, that smile paper-thin. Bridge (slow, heavy) I learned two things on a windy night: Some deals ain’t worth the pain. Free ain’t free when it costs you everything, Just a hollow heart left in the pouring rain. Final Chorus (raw) Pick up the pieces, Dirty laundry left the scars, Walk away with nothing But a broken heart. Pick up the pieces… Pick up the goddamn pieces.
