Piecing us back together

Verse 1

I watched the light leave your eyes too soon,

Like a storm rollin’ in on a clear-blue June.

One day we were laughin’, then the next I was prayin’,

Tryin’ to make sense of what the doctors kept sayin’.

It was cruel and it was fast, and it tore us apart,

Left a house full of love with a shattered heart.

And I stand in the silence, where your voice used to stay,

Tryin’ to learn how to live when you’re taken away.

Chorus

So I’ll put us back together one piece at a time,

For the kids, for your memory, for the love left behind.

I’ll mend every break, I’ll carry what’s true,

And live like the life I was given was one you would choose.

Though I’m broken and missing the best part of me,

I’ll keep this family holdin’ on, like you wanted it to be.

If I can’t have you here, then I’ll do what I know—

I’ll put us back together and help this home grow.

Verse 2

There’s a chair at the table that nobody fills,

And a thousand small moments that I can’t stand still.

A laugh in the hallway, a dress in the hall,

Every little reminder just echoes your call.

The kids look at me searchin’ for strength in my face,

So I swallow my sorrow and I find my place.

I hear you in my heart when I’m weak and unsure,

Sayin’ “love them through it, that’s what you’re here for.”

Chorus

So I’ll put us back together one piece at a time,

For the kids, for your memory, for the love left behind.

I’ll mend every break, I’ll carry what’s true,

And live like the life I was given was one you would choose.

Though I’m broken and missing the best part of me,

I’ll keep this family holdin’ on, like you wanted it to be.

If I can’t have you here, then I’ll do what I know—

I’ll put us back together and help this home grow.

Bridge

Some nights I still buckle, some mornings I fall,

But I feel you beside me through it all.

In every small victory, in every tear dryin’ slow,

I’m buildin’ the future from the love you still show.

And when I’m too weary to carry the weight,

Your memory reminds me it’s not too late.

Final Chorus

So I’ll put us back together one piece at a time,

For the kids, for your memory, for the love left behind.

I’ll mend every break, I’ll carry what’s true,

And live like the life I was given was one you would choose.

Though I’m broken and missing the best part of me,

I’ll keep this family holdin’ on, like you wanted it to be.

If I can’t have you here, then I’ll do what I know—

I’ll put us back together and help this home grow.
