Pick Up the Pieces
7. Jason Derulo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't really wanna let this stuff go
But you're too stubborn to pick up the phone
So round and round we go
I should be happy but I'm feeling so so
There's something missing and I bet you it's you
I know it
You know it
We were made for each other so

My shattered heart is on the ground
I've got to see your face right now
Just tell me where and you'll find me waiting there

[Chorus]
Can we forget the past
I miss you I mean it
And if love is made of glass
Can we pick up the pieces
Pick up pick up up the pieces
Pick up pick up up the pieces
And if love is made of glass
Can we pick up the pieces

I wear a smile to hide the hurt
Cause no one burst
People say that time heals on
So why is it getting worse
I just don't wanna face this battle alone
I know it
You know it
We were made for each other so

My shattered heart is on the ground
I've got to see your face right now
Just tell me where and you'll find me waiting there

[Chorus]

Cutting through my soul and it's razor sharp
Now I'm scattered here in a million parts
How am I supposed to fix a broken heart
Cutting through my soul and it's razor sharp
Now I'm scattered here in a million parts
How am I supposed to fix a broken heart





[Chorus]
