Cascade Rivers - Picking Up The Pieces Lyrics

In the dust of these old backroads
Where we whispered our dreams at night
I let you slip through my fingers
Lost in my own foolish pride
I held you close but never close enough
To see the tears in your eyes
Now I'm haunted by memories
Of all those wasted goodbyes

I loved you more than the world I walked on
But I stumbled and I fell
Now I'm picking up the pieces
Of a love that I once held

Your laughter still echoes
In the corners of my mind
I took your love for granted
Left true love behind

I held you close but never close enough
To feel the pain in your heart
Now I'm chasing after shadows
Torn apart falling apart

I loved you more than the world I walked on
But I stumbled and I fell
Now I'm picking up the pieces
Of a love that I once held

If I could turn back the hands of time
I'd rewrite every line
And prove to you forever
That you were always mine

I loved you more than the world I walked on
But I stumbled and I fell
Now I'm picking up the pieces
Of a love that I once held

So here I am with a heart that's true
Begging for one more chance with you
I'll spend forever making it right
'Cause you're the love that lights my life
