Leaving Me in Pieces (Radio Version): The Backstory

*Verse 1:* 

It was a call not expected 

It was a call that’s unwanted 

She said she’s leaving me soon 

Stunned as I paced and walked around the room 

*Verse 2:* 

Her voice kept speaking to me in my head 

I kept replaying the things she had said 

I said my peace, she simply sighed 

Nothing was hidden, no place to hide 

*Chorus:* 

She’s leaving me, She’s leaving me in pieces 

She’s leaving me, She’s leaving me in pieces 

*Verse 3:* 

We said we'd talk another time 

We said it would be good, oh just fine 

The days passed by, I made the call 

Hearing her voice, crumbling against the wall 

*Verse 4:* 

The day of leaving is here, it's really here

She's oh so gone, it's what I feared

And last time I called she would hardly speak

Her voice was shaky, oh so weak

*Bridge:* 

And oh, it’s true, it’s true what they say 

That there will soon come a day 

The words we spoke were only mine

I knew right then and there we were out of time

*Outro:* 

Thank you for the time we had 

I thank You, Jesus 

She’s left me, oh she’s left me, left me in pieces 

For the time we had I thank You, Jesus 

*Verse 1:* 

It was a call not expected 

It was a call that’s unwanted 

She said she’s leaving me soon 

Stunned as I paced and walked around the room 

*Chorus:* 

She’s leaving me, She’s leaving me in pieces 

She’s leaving me, She’s leaving me in pieces 

*Verse 2:* 

Her voice kept speaking to me in my head 

I kept replaying the things she had said 

I said my peace, she simply sighed 

Nothing was hidden, no place to hide 

*Chorus:* 

She’s leaving me, She’s leaving me in pieces 

She’s leaving me, She’s leaving me in pieces 

*Verse 3:* 

We said we'd talk another time 

We said it would be good, oh just fine 

The days passed by, I made the call 

Hearing her voice, crumbling against the wall 

*Chorus:* 

She’s leaving me, She’s leaving me in pieces 

She’s leaving me, She’s leaving me in pieces 

*Verse 4:* 

Wondering how she was, was she glad to speak? 

She didn't know my name, oh my heart is breaking 

The day of leaving is here, it's really here 

Oh, she’s oh so gone, it’s what I feared 

*Chorus:* 

She’s leaving me, She’s leaving me in pieces 

She’s leaving me, She’s leaving me in pieces 

*Verse 5:* 

Last time that I called she could hardly speak 

Her voice was shaky, oh so weak 

Her body was healthy, but not the mind 

Yes I knew right then we were out of time 

*Bridge:* 

Oh, It’s true, it’s true what they say 

There will soon come a day 

One piece at a time, first her memory then my name 

Her will to live, soon life itself will be waning 

*Outro:* 

But thank you for the time we had 

I thank You, Jesus 

She’s left me, oh she’s left me, left me in pieces 

For the time we had I thank You, Jesus
