One after another
I put the pieces in place
Every minute of every hour
Day after day after day
The signs always caution me
"There's no more room left to make"
But I always turn from them
And I make the same mistake
And they all go down...
And they all go down...
And they all go down
They're hitting the ground
The shattered pieces all around
I'll just look away
Pretend it's okay
And put them back up again someday
And I tip them all over again
And I tip them all over again
One after another
I put the pieces in place
Out of sight and out of mind
Filling in every space
My better judgment cautions me
"There's no more room left to make"
But I let it go too far
And I make the same mistake
Now I'm breaking down...
Now I'm breaking down...
(Please take the pieces away...
I'm tired of feeling this way...)
Now I'm breaking down
I'm hitting the ground
The shattered pieces all around
So please look away
Pretend it's okay
And put me together another day
And I tip them all over again
And I trip and fall over again
And I tip them all over again
