Chapter Eight

Peyton finished her second song and smiled when she looked backstage and got a wink and smirk from Chris and that made her smile even more as she soaked in the clapping and the cheering again. It was such a rush being on stage now she knew what all musicians meant when they said there was nothing like being on stage; it was in a word: rad. Never in her life had she felt so alive as she did right now on that stage; it was so amazing. "Thanks, Tree Hill! It's pretty rad being up here. I'm gonna sing one more song before Chris and I come out sing a couple together. This song is called Fall To Pieces." She pulled out her black acoustic guitar and began to play the chords as the guys removed the piano and she sat down on the edge of the stage singing softly and passionately as if she were in her own room and not in a packed club.

I looked away

Then I looked back at you

You try to say

The things you can't undo

If I had my way

I'd never get over you

Today's the day

I pray that we can make it through

Make it through the fall

Make it through it all

And I don't wanna fall to pieces

I just want to sit and stare at you

I don't want to talk about it

And I don't want a conversation

I just want to cry in front of you

I don't want to talk about it

Cause I'm in love with you

You're the only one,

I'd be with till the end

When I come undone

You bring me back again

Back under the stars

Back into your arms

And I don't wanna fall to pieces

I just want to sit and stare at you

I don't want to talk about it

And I don't want a conversation

I just want to cry in front of you

I don't want to talk about it

Cause I'm in love with you

Wanna know how you feel

Wanna know what is real

Wanna know everything, everything

And I don't wanna fall to pieces

I just want to sit and stare at you

I don't want to talk about it

And I don't want a conversation

I just want to cry in front of you

I don't want to talk about it

And I don't wanna fall to pieces

I just want to sit and stare at you

I don't want to talk about it

And I don't want a conversation

I just want to cry in front of you

I don't want to talk about it

Cause I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you

Cause I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you
