Picking Up The Pieces

[Verse]
The weight of words we never said
Haunts these walls we used to tread
Your shadow lingers in the rain
But I won't drown inside this pain
[Pre-Chorus]
The sun still rises after night
The stars burn bright in endless flight
Though our chapter's reached its end
Tomorrow waits to start again
[Chorus]
I'll pick up the pieces made of gold
From this love that slipped and couldn't hold
Every crack will shine with something new
I'm building a life without but through you
[Verse 2]
Our melody once sweet but grim
Faded into a broken hymn
The echoes still
They hum the past
But my heart beats stronger at last
[Bridge]
The ground beneath me shakes then stills
Promise whispers even through the chills
I'll plant seeds in this soil of tears
And grow beyond my shattered fears
[Chorus]
I'll pick up the pieces made of gold
From this love that slipped and couldn't hold
Every crack will shine with something new
I'm building a life without but through you
