Pieces That Remain

I never promised you heaven
Because it doesn't exist
I only promised my presence
Until the end of our lives

I gave you everything I had
In ways you never noticed
Every quiet sacrifice
Every word left unspoken

And you chose to throw it all away
While I loved every part of you
You fell in love
With the pain of loving me

Like an addict
I needed you close
I couldn't breathe without you
Didn't know who I was

You were my home
The only place I felt safe
My refuge
From a broken world

Now there's nothing left
To escape
And I stayed
Trying to hold what was left of us

Holding onto fragments
That were never enough
Now I carry this emptiness
Like a scar I can't erase

Even the pain you left
Is all I have of you
And it lingers in my veins
Like it won't fade away

A constant reminder
Of the mess we became
Memories that don't make sense
Echoes I can't escape

Trying to find you in the dark
But you're already gone
Pieces that won't fit again
No matter what I do

I tried to rebuild myself
But I lost myself in you
I should've seen it coming
But I chose to believe

That love could fix the damage
You kept hiding from me
You have no idea
How much this destroyed me

How much this destroyed me
