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
