Shattered Pieces

Grew up alone, picked up the pieces of the hurt Inflicted faith was my anchor And those I thought would save me Never again trust a living soul in this wildlife All they ever did was beat me, break me, make me cry You were young mother who wanted to roam and have fun Expressed it all so freely while I faked laughs and smiles Secret kept quiet; you were my nightmare in disguise You were my bully, the shadow in my night sky Shattered pieces on the floor of my heart You broke me down, left from the start Picking up the pieces left in the dark Finding my way through the scars Grew up alone in the storm of my own fears Silence was my friend in the crowd of loud jeers Every tear, every sigh in the night so clear Healing takes time with every whisper I hear But I'm rising, I'm stronger than before Finding my light in places unexplored With each step forward, shaking off the past Learning to love myself at last Shattered pieces on the floor of my heart You broke me down, right from the start Picking up the pieces left in the dark Finding my way through the scars Shattered pieces on the floor of my heart You broke me down, right from the start Picking up the pieces left in the dark Finding my way through the scars Thanks for watching
