Pickin’ Up the Pieces Lyrics by Rupert Pope

Nu Soul 3

2013

I've never wanted to hurt you
You do to yourself
I can give you what you need
Just like nobody else

You had to go your own way
But where did that get you to
Now every piece is broken
Who'll take mercy on you

When your dreams have gone and there's nothing left
When the feelings gone and the tenderness
When the shadows are long I'll be picking up the pieces of your heart

You're barely running on empty
It's no time for you to roam
You know this world ain't pretty
When you ain't got no home

Every soul needs a place to rest
Someone to shine a light
When you're hurt on the inside
Who's gonna make it alright

When your dreams have gone and there's nothing left
When the feelings gone and the tenderness
When the shadows are long I'll be picking up the pieces of your heart

I'll have mercy on you

When your dreams have gone and there's nothing left
When the feelings gone and the tenderness
When the shadows are long I'll be picking up the pieces of your heart
