Sleepless nights and senseless fights   Many that I've known   Are proportional to the desperate hours   Spent on the telephone      Now I'm sitting here trying to get through to God   Screaming in a microphone   Singing, watch out for me cause it's plain to see   I can't make it on my own      When all I got are them      [CHORUS]   Bits and pieces   Of my sorrow and regret   A memorial for lovers   And a covenance they respect      And though here on this young man's face   A tear trace you detect   Well it's only for the bits and pieces   That I can recollect      [BRIDGE]   I had to let you know   So you'll try to understand   It wasn't a scheme it was a foolish dream   That didn't work out like I planned   Just didn't work out like I planned   Hey tell me that you understand, yeah      So give me back my music   And those off-stage whispered cues   Cause I got me a ten song repitoire   Hey it includes a sad song too      So when you see me serenading the darkness   You'll know exactly who I'm singing to   And those tears are only for the years   I may just spend with you      But all I'm left with is      Bits and pieces...
