Broken Pieces

[Intro]
Silent nights, empty halls, echoes of a love that was once tall
Fading pictures, broken calls, shadows of our past that still enthrall

[Verse 1]
I wore my heart like a fragile crown, hoping you'd never let me down
Thought our foundation could withstand, but it crumbled right out of hand
You were the storm I couldn't see, caught between what was and what could be
Now I walk this lonely street, carrying memories too bitter to eat

[Pre-Chorus]
Every whispered lie, every silent cry, I toss and turn through the night
Dreams shattered, hope battered, trying to find the light

[Chorus]
I’m done hiding, I’m done crying, I’m dealing with your messes
Cause you keep lying, always denying that you didn’t ever do nothing
And I thought I could fix you. But you can’t finish a puzzle with broken pieces
And I can’t help wonder was it all fake to begin with? Cause waited in the rain just to soon know that you weren’t coming
Can’t believe I believed it when you said you were busy, even though my gut said you were- you were up to something
Now I really know, now I it wasn’t nothing.

[Verse 2]
Walking through this empty space, echoes of your vanished face
Trust was just a fragile string, now it’s severed, torn, and frayed
You played your hand so well, in your lies I used to dwell
But now I see the truth in the war, I lost myself trying to hold on more

[Pre-Chorus]
Every whispered lie, every silent cry, I toss and turn through the night
Dreams shattered, hope battered, trying to find the light

[Chorus]
I’m done hiding, I’m done crying, I’m dealing with your messes
Cause you keep lying, always denying that you didn’t ever do nothing
And I thought I could fix you. But you can’t finish a puzzle with broken pieces
And I can’t help wonder was it all fake to begin with? Cause waited in the rain just to soon know that you weren’t coming
Can’t believe I believed it when you said you were busy, even though my gut said you were- you were up to something
Now I really know, now I it wasn’t nothing.

[Bridge]
Shattered promises fall like rain, washing away the pain
In this quiet despair, I find my strength in the tears I disdain
Was it all just a game? Or did I love a ghost, only to exhaust my soul?
Now I stand alone, learning to heal what time can’t control

[Outro]
So I let the silence speak, finally free from your deceit
Moving on, finding peace, in my own quiet retreat.
