Shattered Love, Silent Pain

Lyrics

**(Verse 1)**
Why, why, why did you take it from me?
My childhood dreams, you were my hero, not the villain in my story.

**(Verse 2)**
Dear mom, it was you for those first lonely years,
Facing monsters alone, drowning in fears.
It couldn't have been you, my best friend,
But now I see the truth that you tried to defend.

**(Chorus 1)**
This is my love song to the woman I knew,
Dancing on tables, carefree and true.
Strong and outspoken, carrying us through,
But where did she go? Now it's just residue.

**(Bridge)**
(How did your best turn into the worst? How, how, how?)

**(Verse 3)**
Dear dad, it’s hard to find praise,
But I loved you despite your fragile ways.
Smartest man I knew, bond thin as ice,
This is for the dad who could have been nice.

**(Chorus 2)**
I loved you both, you wore heroes' capes,
Shielded the world, but left me in the breaks.

**(Refrain)**
Until you shattered it, tore it apart,
Nothing mattered but your selfish heart.
Always taking, never giving,
From the ones you should be uplifting.

**(Chorus 3)**
Why, why, why did you take you away?
Why did you ruin everything that day?
We could've been happy, could've been a team,
But you killed our love, shattered the dream.

**(Outro)**
I hate you, I hate you, I hate what you've become,
Took away the person you should've been from.
We're monsters in each other's tales,
Ended it before the last act, no farewell.
You drove us into a wreck, tore me to shreds,
I'm your creation, living in my hell,
Blamed me for the misery that in your wake, dwells.
