I prayed heaven today
would bring it's hammer down on me
and pound you out of my head
I can't think with you in it

I dragged all that I own
down a dirt road to find you
and my shoes worn out and used
they can't take me much furter

something always
takes the place of
missing pieces
you can take and
put together even though
you know there's something missing

the sun burned a hole in my roof
i can't seem to fix it
and i hope the rain doesn't come
and wash me down the gutter

something always
takes the place of
missing pieces
you can take and
put together even though
you know there's something missing
something always missing
always someone missing something
something always missing
always someone missing something

i can't see her hollow eyes
i'm walking along with my boots full of rocks
i can't believe these tears are mine
I'll give them to you to keep 'em in a box
