I would take you back To when I used to laugh But that's not the point of the story I've been trying to grasp Onto anything I've got left But everything seems to evade me No one told me It was gonna be this hard To pick up all the pieces After falling apart No one told me To leave something to keep For when the ground falls out from under my feet I'd tell another story But I've got nothing left After all my mistakes I'm left completely bereft Of any type of tale That could keep your attention So can you please tell me Why you forgot to mention No one told me It was gonna be this hard To pick up all the pieces After falling apart No one told me To leave something to keep For when the ground falls out from under my feet Everyone that I know Looks at me like I'm a ghost Like I've been through hell And should have never come out My face is caved in and pale And I don't Think I should end up alone Like I've been cheated out of having a home No one told me It was gonna be this hard To pick up all the pieces After falling apart No one told me To leave something to keep For when the ground falls out from under my feet
