Pieces After the Fall

[Intro]
Whispers echo through the hollow night
Lost in shadows, searching for the light

[Verse 1]
Once claimed your love, a promise so deep
A sacred vow, secrets to keep
But behind those eyes, the darkness grew
A twisted dance, a game he never knew

[Pre-Chorus]
Bending, breaking, giving it all away
Sacrificed his strength, day after day
Yet in the silence, pain was all he saw
A soul betrayed by his own law

[Chorus]
Picking up the pieces after the fall
Can he rise again, stand tall?
From the ashes, can he find new hope?
Carry on, learn how to cope?
Walking streets where love turned cold
A story of a heart so bold
Fighting shadows, seeking grace
Trying to find his rightful place

[Verse 2]
He gave his back, his very core
For her, he fought, he swore to store
Memories of warmth, of tender glance
All lost now in cruel circumstance

[Pre-Chorus]
Still he wonders, what went so wrong?
Was he weak or was he strong?
A pawn in a cruel game played well
In the depths of his own hell

[Chorus]
Picking up the pieces after the fall
Can he rise again, stand tall?
From the ashes, can he find new hope?
Carry on, learn how to cope?
Walking streets where love turned cold
A story of a heart so bold
Fighting shadows, seeking grace
Trying to find his rightful place

[Bridge]
No more tears, no more pain
Breaking free from the chain
Finding strength inside his soul
Making himself whole

[Outro]
Though she cast him out, he’ll survive
Revive his spirit, feel alive
Learning love begins within
And ending where it’s been
Picking up the pieces after the fall
Yes, he will stand after all
