From the recording Pieces
Written by Jonathon Brannon
Lyrics
You sit there lost in a place I can’t reach
Your hands shake trying to find the words to speak
I hold my breath like it’ll turn back time
Searching for a face that once mirrored mine
And I see it
Even if you don’t see it
I can see it in your eyes
It’s on the tip of your tongue
Like the word is right there
But it just won’t come
And I see it, I see it
What was once easy
Now always comes hard
It takes everything in me
To not fall apart
But you won’t see it
Every time I pick up the pieces
Some days there’s a flicker in your eyes
Like you almost know, but it slips by
I hold your hand like it holds the past
Tryin’ to make every moment last
And I see it
Even if you don’t see it
I can see it in your eyes
It’s on the tip of your tongue
Like the word is right there
But it just won’t come
And I see it, I see it
What was once easy
Now always comes hard
It takes everything in me
To not fall apart
But you won’t see it
Every time I pick up the pieces
I’m staying right here
Through all the pieces
‘Cause I see it
Even if you don’t see it
I can see it in your eyes
It’s on the tip of your tongue
Like the word is right there
But it just won’t come
And I see it, I see it
What was once easy
Now always comes hard
It takes everything in me
To not fall apart
But you won’t see it
Every time I pick up the pieces
