Part Of Me (Strings Version)

[Verse 1]

They say the devil takes the best of us

I guess I always knew you weren't like the rest of us

You held the party in your hand, like it would slip away, like moments passed

How I miss the way you used to laugh

Is that the way it goes, you trade your soul to be a rose?

Give everything you've got to give before you've got to go

I guess that no one knows

I guess that I just didn't see the lows

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, we all fall down

Oh, we all fall down

[Chorus]

I wish you told me how you felt that night

Now I'll never get to change your mind

But with all of the memories

You'll always be part of me

I'll tell your mother how we used to laugh

But it's never gonna bring you back

Now you're only a memory

But you'll always be part of me

Part of me

[Verse 2]

I remember times when we'd stay up till morning light

I remember how you'd say how much you miss those nights

And I wish that I had noticed all those cracks in your smile

'Cause it took a while

We could have put stars together, planted roots and lived forever

We could have been kings of our own kingdom, had you let me help you

But you're conditioned to believe it only makes you weaker

Till it chokes you and you're barely breathing

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, we all fall down

Oh, we all fall down

[Chorus]

I wish you told me how you felt that night

Now I'll never get to change your mind

But with all of the memories

You'll always be part of me

I'll tell your mother how we used to laugh

But it's never gonna bring you back

Now you're only a memory

But you'll always be part of me

[Bridge]

Part of me

Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

[Chorus]

I wish you told me how you felt that night

Now I'll never get to change your mind

But with all of the memories

You'll always be part of me

I'll tell your mother how we used to laugh

But it's never gonna bring you back (Bring you back)

Now you're only a memory (Only a memory)

But you'll always be part of me

Part of me
