From the recording Pieces of Me

Lyrics

Pieces of Me
© Alan Gill 2025

VERSE 1
I never thought I would be
The one to hold your hand
Just what you see in me
I’ll never understand

I never thought I would be
Standing centre stage
Hear the roar of applause
Let it slip away

CHORUS
These pieces of me
They make a picture that I simply cannot see

VERSE 2
I never thought I would feel
No pain when it should sear
The light inside had dimmed
My grief had conquered fear

I never thought I would say
Those things I try to hide
The side I cast away
Still lingers deep inside

CHORUS
These pieces of me
They make a picture that I simply cannot see
These pieces of me
They paint a picture that I’m trying to believe

BRIDGE
My shadow walks beside me
Not something to outgrow
The light and dark don’t stand apart
They’re threads within my soul

CHORUS
These pieces of me
They make a picture that I simply cannot see
These pieces of me
They paint a truth that I am trying to believe
