Pieces of the People We Love Lyrics by The Rapture

Pieces of the People We Love

2006

[Verse 1]
Don't try to tell me that my intentions are untrue
My eyes like butterflies you caught 'em and they're open wide
Clouded and hazy future clear whenever I'm with you
Just think of all the things we could do to pass the time
It's a walk in the park, it goes
[Refrain](x2)
Na-na-na na-na-na, na-na-na na-na-na
[Verse 2]
Cause everybody's got a little piece of someone they hide
It's okay, it's the way we distract until the day that we die
And though our future's gone uncertain, it's gonna be alright
Cause though I'm leaving longing leaves me ever by your side
[Chorus]
And all our time together is tearing me apart
I can't hold you tomorrow but I hold you in my heart
And all our time together is tearing me apart
I can't hold out forever, but I hold you in my heart
[Verse 3]
Don't try to tell me that my intentions are untrue
Don't even bother trying to tell me cause you live a lie
Cause a moment or a minute I can see it through
And have a precious little second of you by my side, it goes
[Refrain](x2)
Na-na-na na-na-na, na-na-na na-na-na
[Verse 4]
And our future's looking bright
In all the little pieces of the people that we keep inside
Cause you can do-make-say-think-laugh-sing-drink all night
All the little visions all the little moments that we keep inside
[Chorus]
And all our time together is tearing me apart
I can't hold you tomorrow but I hold you in my heart
And all our time together is tearing me apart
I can't hold out forever, but I hold you in my heart
