All I ever wanted was to find someone
But holdin' it together is the hardest part
No one said life gets in the way
That our plans may change, but our hearts remain
You stand in the doorway holdin’ me
Feeling the tension, you beg and plead
Not to go away again
And then she said

"Every time you leave, I lose a little piece of me"
And every time we speak, words don't do it justice
It's just us from here, here
And that’s when she said
"Every time you leave, I lose a little piece of me"

All I ever wanted was to find someone
But finishing the puzzle is the hardest part
Every day wishin' you could stay
'Cause our minds may change, but our hearts remain
You stand in the doorway holding me
Lost in the moment, I can't believe
You gotta go away again
Hear me when I say

"Every time you leave, I lose a little piece of me"
And every time we speak, words don't do it justice
It's just us from here, here
And that's when she said
"Every time you leave, I lose a little piece of me"

'Cause if you ever start to hesitate
And you feel the weight, it starts to break
We’re not the same
Know that this means everything to me
Oh, to me, oh, to me, oh, to me, oh, to me

Every time you leave, I lose a little piece of me
And every time we speak, words don’t do it justice

Every time you leave, I lose a little piece of me
And every time we speak, words don't do it justice
It’s just us from here
Here, here
And that's when she said
Every time you leave, I lose a little piece of me

All I ever wanted was to find someone
But finishing the puzzle is the hardest part
(I lose a little piece of me)
No one said life gets in the way
It's just us from here
Here (I lose a little piece of me)
Here, I lose a little piece of me
