Picking up the pieces

Intro

I watched the rain fall on my window, slow and cold

You said forever, but forever’s just a story told

Verse

You played your games, you held my heart just out of reach

I tried to trust, but every word was bittersweet

You left me standing in the silence, all alone

When I needed you the most, you were already gone

Chorus

Why’d you have to break me when I needed you to stay?

You turned your back and walked away

I gave you every piece of me, but you just let it bleed

Now I’m picking up the pieces of a love I can’t believe

Verse

I hear your laughter in the echoes of the past

You promised me a future, but you never meant to last

The piano’s crying out the words I couldn’t say

And the violin remembers every lie you made

Chorus

Why’d you have to break me when I needed you to stay?

You turned your back and walked away

I gave you every piece of me, but you just let it bleed

Now I’m picking up the pieces of a love I can’t believe

Bridge

You lost the place in my heart, you lost the place in my head, you lost the memories, the memories, the memories of when you were mine.

Chorus

Why’d you have to break me when I needed you to stay?

You turned your back and walked away

I gave you every piece of me, but you just let it bleed

Now I’m picking up the pieces of a love I can’t believe

Outro

So here’s my song for you, the one you’ll never hear

I’m moving on, but I’ll remember every tear
