A Piece of You

From: On Letting Go

I said my “goodbye” to you
All indications screamed we were through
Big gear of time has rolled on me again
What I thought the beginning turned out the end
  But it simply was worse this time around
  In the torrent I damn sure nearly drowned
  So tell me what should I do with this piece of you? 
  What do I do with this piece of you?

I tried to run but it seems I can't hide
Fate had destined we should soon collide
I marveled at the coincidence
And I cursed at my goddamned sixth sense
  The black widow, she kills and eats her mate
  Makes me wonder if that too will be my fate
  So tell me what should I do with this piece of you? 
  What do I do with this piece of you?

    For a time I was lost in the spell
    I couldn't sleep, I didn't eat, didn't feel very well
    I can't believe you – you didn't feel it too!
    So what do I do with this piece of you?
    What do I do with this piece of you?

Why did you come to me in that dream?
Please don't pretend you don't know what I mean
Tough girl, doesn't need anyone
Yet you call me every time I swear we're done
  I keep waiting for you to realize
  We might be worth the sacrifice
  So for now, I'll hang on to this piece of you! This piece of you.

Well what do I do? (What do I do?)
With this piece of you? (What do I do?)
Are we through? (What do I do?)
I don't have a clue (What do I do?)
Let's rendezvous! And screw and screw and screw and screw and
Tell me what to do with this piece of you!
