Lyrics Cut You a Piece - Alex Brightman, Betsy Wolfe, Jay Armstrong Johnson

Cut You a Piece

Jules, he was fucked up
And Jessie, she was peerless
So of course they fell in love
Jessie let Jules know what was wrong with him
And Jules stopped using, and binging, and pissing his whole life away
And Jules told Jessie he'd die for her, which looking back, was the right thing to say
I cut you a piece of me, I cut you a piece of me
And where I go you will go too
Yes, I am now a part of you
Jules and his Jessie got married in his temple
'Cause they calculated, that Jules was more Jewish than Jessie was Catholic
Jules' mother was pleased
Married six months, when on route 87
Jules turned quickly, in a beaten Mitsubishi
Killed Jessie in a crash
A marriage begun and ended
With broken glass
His life was scattered, and soon was her ash
I cut you a piece of me, I cut you a piece of me
And where you go I will go too
I lost my life when I lost you
Yeah you loved someone so much
That to lose them is to never recover
You've given part of your being to them
And when they go, you can never have it back
You can never have it back
I haven't thought of Jules, or Jessie, or their story in the better part of a year
But warming your hands in mine fills me with terror
That I will lose you, today, or tomorrow, in two years, or seventy
When even the Earth has numbered days
I can give just one thing that stays
I cut you a piece of me, I cut you a piece of me
For where you go I will go too
I am now apart of you
From now on I'm half a soul
Without you I can't be whole
So cut me a piece of you, cut me a piece of you, and where I go you'll always be
Oh, you are the start of me (Focus)
Oh, you are the start of me
