It seems to me that the world gets tougher as we go along
Every day, people talk and papers say
That there’s so much going wrong
Another soldier, another child
Another headline blinds my eyes
I know you’ve felt as if you were the only one
And I wonder if I had been there what would I have done?

A little piece of my heart
Feels like it’s torn apart
A little piece of my heart
Turns Black & Blue

Anna, what can I say?
I see you, I feel you
But you’re so far away

Complications setting in
More frustration than there’s ever been
The road you’re on never gives you a sign of what’s up ahead
Whenever midnight catches you stop and think again

A little piece of my heart
Feels like it’s torn apart
A little piece of my heart
Turns Black & Blue

Anna, what can I say?
I see you, I feel you
But you’re so far away
Anna, Anna, what can I do?
It’s so far, so hard
But you can see it through

Wide-eyed wonder little girl
Do you hide when you get stung
Such a shame, Fleur De Lys
Do you grow your thorns so young?

Hey little girl talk to me
When I see that
See that look in your eyes
It takes a piece of my heart

Sha-la-la, la-la-la
