When Our Lives Shatter Into Shards
I broke your life into a million pieces
Now you’re trying to pick them up and put them all back together
I pray with all my might one of those pieces is our relationship
That it’s me, even if it’s the last one
I’ll wait until you’re done putting it back together
And I’ll help you along the way when you want it
When that piece gets in your hands, don’t throw it out
I know I’m the reason it’s all shattered
But I can be the reason to put it back together with new pieces
Pieces of love and trust that you may have thought I never thought mattered
Reluctantly, I try to move on and piece my own life back
The same words that I hurled at your life that broke it apart
Eventually boomeranged back to my life and smashed it to shards
The process of gathering these shards is painful when I cut myself with a memory
The blood drips and healing the wound is hard when tears drip on open scars
The cuts burn and the blood spews as I remember our moments
The moments I took for granted that I long for now more than ever
I’m trying to move on like you do but it’s just not working
My swelling subconscious eventually pops like a pimple
And it infests my true feelings into my conscious
True feelings of regret, remorse, and guilt cloud my mind
As I remember that things are not okay in a shocking instant
And I stare at those pieces and wonder how long this will all take
I wonder if seeing other people is really worth putting our relationship at stake
And is it fair for anyone new that I meet?
They will always have to compete with you
They will always be second to the love you gave me
But perhaps this was a necessary move all along
Look deeper past the mistake that will nevertheless always be wrong
There is a brighter side beyond the tears and frustration
If this never happened, we would still be in a stage of weakness
Questioning what to do with our relationship and its rocky condition
We would have been stuck, running in circles afraid of what’s to come
My actions have become an eye opener in my point of view
Because forcefully ending what was still blossoming
Has made me realize my love for you is powerful than I ever knew
Now my love burns like the flames of acres of woods, wildly out of control
My head is filled with ideas on how to make you smile everyday
And it was because I broke what we had that made me come to my senses
Pondering with pieces in my hands I now wake up to see the truth
That it is I who cannot handle living without you
I broke your life into a million pieces
Now you’re trying to pick them up and put them all back together
I pray with all my might one of those pieces is our relationship
That it’s me, even if it’s the last one
I’ll wait until you’re done putting it back together
And I’ll help you along the way when you want it
When that piece gets in your hands, don’t throw it out
I know I’m the reason it’s all shattered
But I can be the reason to put it back together with new pieces
