Missing Pieces

I would go to pieces if you said that this was just an act
To come and take the sleep out of my night
And I would go to pieces if you said that this was just an act
To come and take the shine out of my light

Oh and I go through it all
Oh it's a thing like habit, I know

I would feel much better if I thought there was any other reason
To keep away the beauty from the dirt
And I would do much better if I thought I'd fill any other need
And I miss you, oh
And I miss you, oh

And I would be complete if you could put me down in facts and figures
The hardest things are always black and white
And I would be complete if you could touch me once but it never figures
The easy things are never really right

Oh and I go day by day
Oh it's a thing to live for, I know

And I would feel much better if I thought there was any other reason
To keep away the beauty from the dirt
And I would do much better if I thought I'd fill any other need
And I miss you, oh
And I miss you, oh

Why don't you take a walk outside and see the mess I made
And see the mess I made
And I will be waiting with a knife, just like an angry child
Just like an angry child
And why don't you go and spread the word just like some disease
Just like some disease
I know your mother told you that you are God
But you are just a boy

And I would be much better if I thought there was any other reason
Keep away the beauty from the dirt
And I would do much better if I thought there was any other need
And I miss you, oh
And I miss you, oh

And I would feel much better if I thought there was any other reason
Keep away the beauty from the dirt
And I would do much better if I thought there was any other need
And I miss you, oh
And I miss you, and I miss you
