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.
