One million pieces

Woke up on the floor again, glass in my hands

Another hit, another lie, couldn’t make a stand

My wife was crying by the door, holding on too long

And I watched her spirit break—yeah, I know I did her wrong

My daughters saw too much, more than they should know

They begged their daddy back, but I just let them go

Six months ago, the angels took my son

And I haven’t seen the sunrise since that moment come

Thought the meth would numb the pain, take the edge away

But it burned a hole so deep, I can’t face the day

I hear his laughter in my head, then silence hits like stone

And every night I’m haunted, lying wide awake alone

They don’t know the demons that I fight

Voices whisperin’ wrong from right

Sleep won’t come, just endless cries

I’m drowning in these bloodshot skies

I broke her heart in a million ways

Burned the bridge where love once stayed

To my wife, my best friend, I fall on my knees

I’m sorry, please forgive me—set me free

I wore a mask so long, forgot my own face

Took everything and gave back disgrace

My daughters don’t trust the man they see

And who can blame them? That man wasn’t me

I lost my soul, I lost my name

But I swear I never meant to cause this much pain

I ain’t askin’ for a clean slate, or to erase the past

But I’m clawing through the wreckage, trying to make it last

I miss your hand in mine, your eyes full of hope

Now they look like thunder, like you’re barely able to cope

But if there’s still a flicker, even just a spark

I’ll follow it like a lighthouse in the dark

They don’t know the demons that I fight

The screams that haunt me every night

The son I lost, the love I’ve wrecked

The scars I gave, the lives I’ve wrecked

I broke your heart in a million ways

Still beg for one more chance, one more day

To my wife, my girls, the ones I betrayed

I’m sorry—please don’t let me fade

This is my confession, my last appeal

To show you that I hurt, I break, I feel

If love remains beneath the pain and shame

Then maybe, just maybe, I can change
