Take a little piece of my life
For safe keeping
Steal away just one laugh
For when i'm weeping
'cause i'm afraid
Change is gonna come my way
And i'm afraid rain
Is gonna ruin my days

Remember times
We were so much younger
Back in those green days
When life snuck out
My bedroom window
Cause
I couldn't stand the games

Take a little piece of my heart
For safe keeping
Give me just one more smile
As you're leaving
'cause times have changed
And loving me was just a game
You're afraid
I'm gonna ruin your day

It's 4 a.m and i'm writing
Down the words to this song
I wish i knew which ones
Would keep you
But they always come out wrong

Take a little piece of my life
For safe keeping
Steal away just one laugh
For when i'm weeping
'cause i'm afraid
Change is gonna come my way
And i'm afraid
I'm gonna ruin your day
