Lost Inside the Puzzle

 

Verse 1
I've been staring at these broken pieces
Scattered across this empty floor
Every picture that I thought was forever
Walked right out that open door

One marriage turned to memories
Then one more faded into dust
Now I'm counting scars instead of blessings
Wondering who I can trust

Pre-Chorus
Every road I take keeps leading nowhere
Every answer feels so far away

Chorus
I'm lost inside a puzzle
Trying to find where I belong
Searching through the wreckage
Of everything that went wrong

Two divorces, two goodbyes
Two sunsets I couldn't save
Still holding on to hope somehow
Though my heart's become a grave

I'm lost inside a puzzle
With a million missing parts
Just looking for one true love
To put together this broken heart

Verse 2
I've got pictures in a cardboard box
Names I barely say out loud
Promises that turned to silence
Faces hidden in the crowd

Everybody says keep moving
That tomorrow heals the pain
But tomorrow looks just like yesterday
And the rain keeps bringing rain

Pre-Chorus
I keep looking for directions
But the map keeps fading away

Chorus
I'm lost inside a puzzle
Trying to find where I belong
Searching through the wreckage
Of everything that went wrong

Two divorces, two goodbyes
Two sunsets I couldn't save
Still holding on to hope somehow
Though my heart's become a grave

I'm lost inside a puzzle
With a million missing parts
Just looking for one true love
To put together this broken heart

Bridge
Maybe there's a piece I've never found
Maybe she's still out there somewhere now

Maybe all these broken roads I traveled
Were leading me to her somehow

But tonight I'm sitting here alone
Holding pieces in my hands
Trying to understand

Final Chorus
I'm lost inside a puzzle
But I haven't given up yet
Though every chapter left me wounded
And every page is filled with regret

Two divorces, countless tears
A lifetime searching through the dark
Still believing someone's waiting
For the missing piece of my heart

Yeah, I'm lost inside a puzzle
But someday I'll finally see
The picture I was meant to be...
And someone will complete me

Outro
Until then I'll keep searching
Through the shadows and the rain
Holding on to love's last promise
That my heart won't break in vain..
