All the broken pieces

Lying in a pile

Waiting to be swept up

From the bathroom tile

Broke my only mirror

Feeling not quite right

Empty little bedroom

And a long night

Oh, I miss my honey so
Now I'm cold and lonely

Oh, and I hope she comes back home

To her boy whose heart is broke

I'm sinking slow

I'm sinking slow

In a soft rain

Hanging on the wall

Praying for salvation
