[Verse]
They say life is short, and soon it'll pass me by
But the hours feel so long to start over again
Processing that it's not me stings a lot, but I have to bear it
This goodbye won't kill me, uh, but how it's going to hurt (Where's my daddy?)
Imagining and turning over what can no longer be
I hate being the one in this story who leaves, never to return (Why isn't my daddy here?)
[Chorus]
I'll be that puzzle missing pieces
A sad clown with a face of sorrow
A king without a queen, that's how you leave me
You'll be that thorn I can never remove
It didn't work out, and admitting it is painful
To have you only in dreams
It's hard to forget you
But I'll settle for the memory
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
I'll be that puzzle missing pieces
A sad clown with a face of sorrow
A king without a queen, that's how you leave me
You'll be that thorn I can never remove
It didn't work out, and admitting it is painful
To have you only in dreams
It's hard to forget you
But I'll settle for the memory
