I  thought my heart would mend
And babe, you know I’ve tried
But the picture on the cover
Doesn’t match the one inside

I’m picking up the pieces
Trying to fit the holes
In this picture puzzle you left me long ago
The hardest puzzle I can see
Just a pile of little pieces
That makes no sense to me

‘Cause we were together and now we’re apart
I’m picking up the pieces of my heart
I thought my heart would mend
And babe, you know I’ve tried
But the picture on the cover
Doesn’t match the one inside 

Now I’m holding the pieces
Not knowing where to start
With this jigsaw puzzle you’ve made of my heart
A pretty picture puzzle should fit so easily
But the picture that you left me
Doesn’t match the one I see

‘Cause we were together, now we’re apart
And I’m picking up the pieces of my heart
The puzzle looked so easy
‘Til we tried to play the game
And the pieces fit together
But the picture’s not the same

I’m picking up the pieces
Trying to fit the holes
In this picture puzzle you left me long ago
The hardest puzzle I can see
Just a pile of little pieces
That makes no sense to me

‘Cause we were together and now we’re apart
I’m picking up the pieces of my heart
I thought my heart would mend
And babe, you know I’ve tried
But the picture on the cover
Doesn’t match the one inside

Thought my heart would mend
And babe, you know I’ve tried
But the picture on the cover
Doesn’t match the one inside
