Shards

Folder: 
Remnants

Somewhere along the way something got lost
Living through the game, before it all dissolved
Somewhere on this journey, all the madness came
Etching out the story, of what our love became


Shards of broken glass held up by shattered memories
Just remnants of the past where I thought we would always be
Inside a tragic game fulfilled by pure insanity
And now I've come to play, but you are nowhere to be seen


Somewhere in the night, I gave you all of me
Let down the walls inside, set inhibitions free
Somewhere in my mind, I let my heart follow blindly
Now, after all this time, I know the truth I couldn't see
That we were nothing more than what we are meant to be


Shards of broken glass held up by shattered memories
Just remnants of the past where I thought we would always be
I can't believe that way I gave you such control of me
I've come to play your game, but you are nowhere to be seen


I close my eyes
I scream inside
This love that died
Killed all my pride
Through all the lies
I realized
The truth that lights
My darkest nights
I held onto a lie
That what we had was right
But the truth, as you can see
Is what we'll always be


Shards of broken hearts perplexed by shattered memories
Just remnants of a past where you will always be
The game you played was all too puzzling
And now you've come to play, but I am far beyond your reach


We're just shards and remnants shattered and displaced
No more than torn intentions, toss out and strewn away
We're shards of a life that we could never reach
And that, my broken love, is what we'll always be


Just shards of shattered memories
Tattered remnants of what we used to be
Just shards of bitter tragedies
Torn apart and thrown so haplessly
