I'm piecing me together again

I don't know what to think

When your lies are so sweet

Like sugar-coated melodies

That knock me off my feet.

You feed me your honeyed lines

I forget about the hurtful times.

But the scars are still there,

Hidden beneath the love we shared.

Please let me see the light

That you always seem to highlight.

But it flickers and fades away,

Leaving me lost in shades of gray.

Because every time I'm close to forgetting you,

You come back and break through.

All those walls I build up,

Now they’re nothing but dust and rubble.

I don’t have any left to clean up

When they are shattered on the ground.

The echoes of your voice surround,

But I don’t want you coming back around.

Because I have nothing left to give,

And I can no longer forgive.

When my heart lies in the dirt,

You step on it like it doesn't hurt.

What was once ours has slipped away,

I’m pricing it back, day by day.

Piece by piece, I’ll reclaim me,

From the shadow of what used to be.

So don’t try to pull me back in,

This time I know I won’t let you win.

Your lies don’t feel so sweet,

Just bitter truths I finally meet.

The cracks you left, I’ll mend with care,

And I’ll build a heart you can’t tear.

Because I have nothing left to give,

But for myself, I’ll learn to live.

And as you walk around my pain,

I’ll rise stronger from the rain.

What was once yours is no longer mine,

I’ll take it back, one heartbeat at a time.
