Chorus:

Picking up scattered pieces from a broken heart
To put it back together is a work of art
Because every little piece plays an intricate part
That all leads to a beating heart
H-Heartache don't come knocking, don't come knocking
(That's what they keep on telling me)
You've never been my friend
(Nope)
Heartache don't come knocking, don't come knocking
(Nope)
Heartbreak you've never been my friend

Verse One:

Use to be my best friend yeah my confidant
Someone I could trust shit we been through a lot
Since the public school era where our names rang in the halls
You had my back when my back was against the wall
I wish I could have done more to try & break your fall
My heart broke when you did hit the bottom
But you would lie & justify & get high on your own supply
Oh my
Yeah
Born in the 80's the era of crack
Chris Rock "New Jack City" we a never do that
Claiming that your Nino Brown & that your getting that cash
But you've been broke then a bitch & more then a decade has passed
It's hard to reflect on the past without my heart aching
Time to face the cold facts of your poor decision making
Because you'll never get back what the drugs already taken
& that's heartbreaking

Chorus: (Repeat)

She use to be my lover my everything
Yeah
Someone I could trust with anything
The only one I ever thought that I would give a ring
& I would be the King & you would be my Queen
Yup
So picture perfect
But reality shook it like a Polaroid
So many traps that I can't avoid
Can't go back so I'm stuck trying to fill a void
& lately it's hard to feel the joy
I feel pain & that's something that I don't enjoy
You feel the same so why not take the risk
& stop blaming me for your unhappiness
In my next lifetime baby I'll be waiting
But for now it's time to move on & start facing
The truth
& I know it's heartbreaking

Chorus: (Repeat)

Verse Three:

He'd been my rap partner since we were kid's
Freestyling cutting hair in the basement at my Mama's crib
Always dreamed of getting signed to a contract
But when we did get it your heart wasn't in it
& you flushed away a lot of hard work in a Michigan minute
& gave up so close to the finish
All my dreams & morale man they went down with it
Because it will never be the same no matter how I try & spin it
So I guess it's safe to say that I moved on
Pick the pieces up with every song
