I put you in a box
Included everything laying around
That made me think of you
And sealed it with a rubber band
I threw it in a lake
Watched as you flew through the dark sky that night
Until you made a splash
And then I said my last goodbyes
I turned away, no looking back
I walked away, my head held high
That was the easiest
But what was yet to come the hardest part
Wanting you back with me
Although you're just no good for me
I dream at night at last
You aren't keeping me up, driving me nuts
I did the right thing I think
I'm just now getting over you
I turned away, no looking back
I walked away, my head held high
You've gone away, stay there
You shouldn't have been here ever at all
I turned away, no looking back
I walked away, my head held high

"Pieces"
I don’t want to be your side kick
Living in your shadow, I crave the spotlight
And I won’t be
your enemy
When I have my own here, I want to be good
I don’t want to be your lover
If you can’t return what I’m prepared to bring
I can’t be a part of you
When I’m assembling the pieces of me
I don’t want to sacrifice me
When I don’t know who, or what I can be
You can’t complete me incomplete
Two halves don’t make one whole, where two hearts should
be
I know that I’m all that I need
But I can’t be me when I’m caught up in you
I can’t be a part of you
When I’m assembling the pieces of me
Bad choices don’t define me
Good qualities won’t uplift me
I’m the sum of my parts
And what’s in heart

"Disconnect"
I won’t be another scapegoat for you
To place blame for your damaged heart
My name will not be on that list
Find another sucker to shame
Why bother using some lame cop out
Not to share to spare our feelings
Although it may hurt I’d rather feel the pain
Than bottle it off and die a little on the inside
I thought that you could be the one
But you won’t be so our time is done
It’s time for me to disconnect
Remove myself and my respect
It’s time for me to disconnect
I see it clear in retrospect
Although I never tried once to change you
I thought you were getting better
But I was a fool just a tool
For you to use to fill your needs
Everything about you seemed perfect
Even your flaws were lovable
But you’re not ready for what I’m here giving
I won’t wait patiently when I can keep looking
I thought that you could be the one
But you won’t be so our time is done
It’s time for me to disconnect
Remove myself and my respect
It’s time for me to disconnect
I see it clear in retrospect
Why did I give you the power
That you lectured me for giving to others
And how funny how you used it
Whether you’re aware of it or not
I thought that you could be the one
But you won’t be so our time is done
It’s time for me to disconnect
Remove myself and my respect
It’s time for me to disconnect
I see it clear in retrospect
