Song Lyrics

Words and Music by Kirsten Ireland


we slid one another on,
trying to find a fit
we tugged and pulled at each others folds
until we felt them rip
we tried to sew little strips
where the gaps began to show
but our fingers slipped.
we lost our grip and the holes began to grow

you gave yours and I gave mine
it’s alright say goodbye
we weren’t right, but we stayed and we tried
now it’s time to say goodbye.

we held the pieces that we liked,
and put the others down
when we needed more to set the image right,
there were none to be found
all the edges we got to meet
would somehow divide
the picture stood there incomplete
no matter how hard we tried

you gave yours and I gave mine
it’s alright say goodbye
we weren’t right, but we stayed and we tried
now it’s time to say goodbye.
