Just a Shred
In the bottom left-hand corner
Of the bottom drawer
In the back of my mind
I keep a picture of you
Should I send you all my news?
Should I sing you all my blues?
Should I tell you lies?
Did I meet the expectations
Of your friends and your relations?
Maybe I should have tried
Did you wait like I waited?
Wondering if we'd make it
Did you waste your time?
Just a shred of a piece of a fragment of you
Keeps messing with my head
Even though you're far away
And I'm someone new
Under unfinished highways
With the moon rising sideways
Did we have it all?
But you need to play it safe
Took all the thrill out of the chase
So I said goodbye
Just a shred of a piece of a fragment of you
Keeps messing with my head
Even though you're far away
And I'm someone new
See for me, the grass was greener
It was easier to leave ya
Now I realize
That my strings are out of tune
There's no air in my balloon
I've been cut down to size
Just a shred of a piece of a fragment of you
Keeps messing with my head
Even though you're far away
And I'm someone new
And I'm someone new
Just a shred, just a shred
