Lyrics

A Thousand Pieces

[Verse 1]

My heart has burst into a thousand pieces tonight

My heart has burst into a thousand pieces tonight

London hides her starry night

She covers them all up with light

My heart has burst into a thousand pieces tonight

[Chorus]

Please, would you watch over me if I sleep?

Pull me from the safety zone when I'm weak

[Verse 2]

Imagine how a father feels to witness his son in a fight

Imagine how a father feels to witness his son in a fight

London hides her starry night

She covers them all up with light

My heart has burst into a thousand pieces tonight

[Chorus]

Please would you watch over me if I sleep?

Pull me from the safety zone when I'm weak

Please, would you watch over me if I sleep?

Pull me from the safety zone when I'm weak

[Bridge]

I made my place at this table

I'll pass the tears if I'm able

Don't pick up the pieces

Don't pick up the pieces

Don't pick up the pieces

Don't pick up the pieces

[Verse 1]

My heart has burst into a thousand pieces tonight

My heart has burst into a thousand pieces tonight

[Chorus]

Please would you watch over me if I sleep?

Pull me from the safety zone when I'm weak

Oh please, would you watch over me if I sleep?

Pull me from the safety zone when I'm weak

Don't pick up the pieces

Don't pick up the pieces
