  • I see you in the morning, feel your fingers in my hair
    Sometimes I still pretend you're there
    It hits me without warning, your reflection walking by
    But I know it's only in my mind

    Will you show me the piece of my heart I've been missin'?
    Won't you give me the part of myself that I can't give back?
    Will you show me the piece of my heart I've been missin'?
    'Cause I'd kill for you, and darlin', you know that

    So I'll light up a cigarette
    I'll drink it down 'til there's nothin' left
    'Cause I sure can't get no sleep
    And Lord knows there's no relief
    You held my heart in your fingertips
    So now I drown in my bitterness
    Oh, I can't get no sleep
    And I sure won't, I sure won't find no peace
    No peace

    All that I am asking is for a little clarity
    That's all that really matters to me
    In and out of focus, tears are in my eyes
    We're burnin' down the bridges this time

    Will you show me the piece of my heart I've been missin'?
    Oh, won't you give me the part of myself that I can't give back?
    Oh, will you show me the piece of my heart I've been missin'?
    'Cause I'd kill for you, and darlin', you know that

    So I'll light up a cigarette
    I'll drink it down 'til there's nothin' left
    'Cause I sure can't get no sleep (no sleep)
    And Lord knows there's no relief
    You held my heart in your fingertips
    So now I drown in my bitterness
    Oh, I can't get no sleep
    And I sure won't, I sure won't find

    I used to find comfort in your arms
    Caught up in the wonder of your charms
    Oh, I'll cry for you, I'll cry for you
    I'll lie for you, I'll lie for you
    But I don't even know you anymore

    So I'll light up a cigarette
    I'll drink it down 'til there's nothin' left
    'Cause I sure can't get no sleep
    And Lord knows there's no relief
    You held my heart in your fingertips
    So now I drown in my bitterness
    Oh, I can't get no sleep
    And I sure won't, I sure won't find no peace, oh

    Sure won't find no peace, no, no
    Will you give me the piece
    Will you give me the piece of my heart?
    Will you give me the piece
    Won't you give me the piece of my heart? Writer/s: Abbey Smith, James Napier, Sam Smith
