Piece by Piece Lyrics

You wouldn't beli- eve all the things that I've done
You just can't see 'cause you're young
I've paid my dues and I had my fun
You'll have yours too, son
You'll have yours too, son
You wouldn't beli- eve how fast they can take it aw- ay
You're walking 'round free and in chains the next day
Time has a way of breaking you down
Piece by piece from your tooth to your
claw
O- oh, trust me my son
Ye- ah,'cause you're sti- ll young
You wouldn't beli- eve all the things that I've seen
The girls I have known, and places I've been
I've stood at Pompeii, prayed to stones in Del- hi
But you don't see shit when you look at me
I've watched the smoke rise from a prince's pyre
It don't look much different from a beggar's fire
Yeah,I know, know you d- on't think much of me
But in time,
you'll see
A- ah,in time, my son
Ye- ah,'cause you're still young
Don't do what I've done
O- oh, when I was young
I've got some wisdom from the time that I've done
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but you're still young
