[INTRO]
Is it a winter night
Or a fire in the dark?
I see the light through a small hole in the ice,
But I remain frozen,
Too scared to start.
[VERSE 1]
It hurts to move,
To climb out of my little frozen place.
Breaking chains isn’t easy
When your bones remember
Every cold embrace.
I wish I could be free,
But freedom feels so far from me.
[PRE-CHORUS]
Night lights up the midnight sky,
And something in me softens.
The moon looks back
Like it knows why
I’ve been hurting this often.
[CHORUS]
Shattered—
Pieces of my confidence buried in the snow.
Shattered—
I reach for warmth but the wind still says no.
Frozen where I stood
When I was young and misunderstood.
Shattered—
Trying to find a way back,
If I could.
[VERSE 2]
I get attached too quickly,
Like a bug on a stick with nothing else to hold.
Nothing ever stays with me—
It repels
Like a cat running from the cold.
But this dog bites back
And attacks until there’s nothing left intact.
[PRE-CHORUS]
Only time will tell
Why the pieces fell
And why the echoes cling.
But time keeps passing
While I’m grasping
What’s left of everything.
[CHORUS]
Shattered—
Pieces of my confidence buried in the snow.
Shattered—
I reach for warmth but the wind still says no.
Frozen where I stood
When I was young and misunderstood.
Shattered—
Trying to find a way back,
If I could.
[BRIDGE]
What’s left of me
Hums quietly
Under layers of numb.
The girl I was
Still claws because
She wants to feel
Someone.
Just once.
[FINAL CHORUS]
Shattered—
But still I see a spark beneath the pain.
Shattered—
A tiny flame that refuses to fade again.
Frozen where I stood
When the world stopped feeling good.
Shattered—
But even broken glass
Still glitters like it should.
[OUTRO]
Is it a winter night
Or a fire in the dark?
Somewhere in the ice
A heartbeat starts.
