Paper Bag of Pieces

Drop

Shattered and I'm still standing here

Shattered and I'm still standing here

Verse 1

You left a note that said you're fine

I read it twice and set it down

Nothing in the kitchen makes a sound

Your side of the mattress still holds cold

I still pour two cups out of habit

Then I drink both of them alone

Sit and wait for nothing at the window

Watch the streetlights flicker out at dawn

Chorus

Shattered and I'm still standing here

Shattered but the walls don't fall

I keep the pieces in a paper bag

Shattered and I'm still standing tall

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Still standing here

Oh oh oh

Still standing here

Verse 2

I rearranged the living room

Moved the chair you always claimed

Now the empty corner feels too wide

And I can't remember what to name

Tell myself I'm sleeping better

Tell myself the quiet is a gift

But the clock keeps ticking slower

And my chest is caving in a bit

Chorus

Shattered and I'm still standing here

Shattered but the walls don't fall

I keep the pieces in a paper bag

Shattered and I'm still standing tall

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Still standing here

Oh oh oh

Still standing here

Bridge

Maybe I was half a person

Maybe you were half a storm

Maybe we were only passing

Maybe I was always torn

Breakdown

I don't need you

I don't need you

I repeat it till I mean it

I don't need you

I don't need you

Till the morning comes to clean it

Chorus

Shattered and I'm still standing here

Shattered but the walls don't fall

I keep the pieces in a paper bag

Shattered and I'm still standing tall

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Still standing here

Oh oh oh

Still standing here
