pieces
Dan Powell Lyrics

Took a change to see me,
It took some effort for you to notice me,

now that you believe me
but now that you do, I feel validated and heard,

its like I’m dreaming sweetly
I feel as though I'm living in a wonderful dream,

when you’re here beside me
only when you're close to me,

and I have never felt so
have I ever felt so,

like I found which way to go,
certain and confident in my direction,

when you touch me gently
especially when I feel your gentle touch,

I remember how you know
I'm reminded of how well you understand me.

Chorus:

And the sun shines rings around your smile
Your bright smile is like a shining sun,

and I’m here laughing like a child;
I can't help but laugh like a cheerful child,

There’s just one place love could start,
Love can only begin in one place,

with the pieces of my heart
with all the components of my being.

Changed my stars to find you,
I made changes in my life to be with you,

I lost the mask and broke through,
I stopped hiding my true self and revealed myself to you,

no more secrets from you,
I'm no longer keeping any secrets from you,

I would lose to love you
I'd be willing to give up anything to love you,

and I have never felt so
have I ever felt so,

like a man that’s been set free
as liberated and free as a bird,

I can spread my arms now
I can finally stretch my arms without any limitations,

you can place your trust in me
you can rely on me to be trustworthy.

And the sun shines rings around your smile
Your happy smile is radiating sunlight,

and I’m here laughing like a child;
I'm filled with joy and behave like a kid,

There’s just one place love could start
Love only starts in one particular place,

with the pieces of my heart
using all the fragments of my being.

I can’t stand to lose you,
I cannot bear the thought of losing you,

to break but never get through
to suffer and try hard but never succeed,

and I can only love you
the only thing I can do is love you,

if I use all the pieces of my heart
but to do it right, I must use every aspect of my being.

And the sun shines rings around your smile
your gorgeous smile creates a ring of sunshine,

and I’m here laughing like a child;
I'm so happy, I cannot stop laughing,

There’s just one place love could start
Love can only start from within,

with the pieces of my heart
with all the separate parts of myself.
