Lyrics
PIECES OF MY HEART
I was lead to believe, your love was free
You said it was a gift, some kind of wealth
You gave to me
But I don?t feel any richer now
No matter what you say
Love was an expensive luxury
With a price that I can?t pay
Nothing in life is free
And I paid from the start
I paid for love with pieces of my heart
Everybody has a price to pay
The cost is from the start
I paid for love with pieces of my heart
Pieces of my heart
I was lead to believe, that love had no fee
Like something heaven sent, like something precious
Bestowed upon me
But I don?t feel like being gracious now
Nothing is quite what it seems
What it gives has brought me to my knees
With a cost beyond my means
CHORUS
You taught me how to fly
Then took away my wings
You promised me the whole wide world
And left me with nothing but worthless things
You lead me so close to your heart
Then moved it out of reach
You told me how it?s meant to be
But you don?t practice what you preach
CHORUS x 2
