Missing Pieces - Jack White

I was in the shower so I could not tell my nose was bleeding

Dripped down my body to the floor right below my feet

Looked in the mirror at my face

I thought I had a disease, yeah

And there’s a woman with her fingers in my icebox

She peeked around the corner and asked me if I’m okay

She put the ice upon my tongue

And then it melted away

Alright, oak floor, soft pine bedroom door, yeah

Speak easy, make her mine if she’s bored, yeah

And there’s a dry pine ceiling that is out of my reach

I woke up and my hands were gone, yeah

I looked down and my legs were long gone

I felt for her with my shoulder

But there was nobody there

I thought she left a note, just a tag on the pillow there

And then I noticed there’s a rag next to my ear

The clock was ringing

But it wasn’t nothing that I could hear, alright

Sometimes someone controls everything about you

And when they tell you that they just can’t live without you

They ain’t lying

They’ll take pieces of you

And they’ll stand above you

And walk away, yeah, that’s right

And take a part of you with them
