When you take a piece of me
my soul starts to die,
Making it easier for you to pass me by,

When you take a piece of me
I lose a bit of heart,
And then I come across as a faded piece of art,

When you take a piece of me
you make me want to cry,
I lose every bit of courage and become timid and shy,

When you take a piece of me
I am unbearably sad,
it may not bother you, but it makes me feel rather bad,

when you take a piece of me
you take a piece of you,
but you are much stronger and there's nothing I can do,

When you take a piece of me
in bed I want to lay,
When you take a piece of me
I begin to slip away.
