Broken Pieces of a Lost Love

[Intro]
Silent nights, haunted by the past
Ghosts of love that didn't last
Looking at the pieces, trying to mend
A broken life, where love used to end

[Verse 1]
2016, sitting here alone
With my phone and a heart of stone
Snapshots of a life I'd call my own
Now just memories, cold as bone

[Pre-Chorus]
She said she loved me, then walked away
Fading smiles in a fake display
Her manipulation, her cruel game
Left me with scars, carved in shame

[Chorus]
How do you move on, when you're lost inside?
When your soul is broken, and your hope has died?
Picking up the pieces, trying to find the light
In a love that was a shadow, in the dead of night

[Verse 2]
Photos of a wedding, smiles so fake
A fantasy built on a fragile ache
She wanted everything, on a silver tray
While I fell apart day by day

[Pre-Chorus]
Dealing with PTSD, a silent scream
Lost my sense of self, can’t find my dream
Deleting memories, trying to forget
But her ghost still lingers, with every regret

[Chorus]
How do you move on, when you're lost inside?
When your soul is broken, and your hope has died?
Picking up the pieces, trying to find the light
In a love that was a shadow, in the dead of night

[Bridge]
All I wanted was a true new start
But broken hearts tear us apart
Can I survive this darkened sea?
Find a way to be free

[Outro]
Just want to drown the pain away
Forget her smile, forget the day
In the silence, I will try
To find myself and learn to fly

Deep emotional ballad, acoustic guitar, raw vocals, somber mood
