Picking up the pieces

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Broken glass in the mirror, can't recognize my face Running from the past but it keeps up with the chase Every promise shattered like a fist through the wall Got a thousand voices screaming, watching me fall I've been carrying the weight of every mistake Back bent, chest tight, feeling ready to break Everybody talks but they don't know the pain How the thunder keeps rolling when there's no rain Locked inside my head like a cage made of steel Trying to numb the hurt but I still gotta feel Every cut, every bruise, every lesson learned Watching bridges collapse while the whole world burns [Pre-Chorus] And I can't erase it Can't replace it Every wound I got still leaves a mark [Chorus] I'm picking up the pieces of a life that fell apart Holding onto fragments, trying to restart From the ashes, from the wreckage, from the darkness in my heart I'm picking up the pieces, trying to find who we are Picking up the pieces... Before they tear me apart [Verse 2] They said time heals all, but time got lost Now I'm staring through the wide open space of what I was Dreams scattered on the floor where the hope got lost Learning every step forward's got a painful cost I've been fighting my reflection, fighting my fears Trying to drown out the echoes of a million years Of regret, of doubt, of words unsaid Like a battlefield raging in the back of my head But the pressure makes diamonds, that's what they say So I'm digging through the rubble, finding my way Even when the shadows try to pull me below There's a spark in the darkness that refuses to go [Pre-Chorus] And I can't erase it Can't replace it But I'm stronger than the weight I've carried [Chorus] I'm picking up the pieces of a life that fell apart Holding onto fragments, trying to restart From the ashes, from the wreckage, from the darkness in my heart I'm picking up the pieces, trying to find who we are Picking up the pieces... Before they tear me apart [Bridge] (Half-time breakdown) Piece by piece... Brick by brick... I rebuild everything they thought I'd quit Piece by piece... Breath by breath... I refuse to let this be what's left [Rap Breakdown] Look— I came from the bottom of the pit where the pain lives Every setback hit hard but I stayed with it Lost friends, lost trust, lost time, lost sleep Now I'm digging through the ruins where the memories keep Their grip on my soul, but I'm breaking the chain Every storm that I survived only sharpened the flame You can bury me deep but the roots grow strong And the scars become proof that I've been here all along [Final Chorus] I'm picking up the pieces of a life that fell apart Holding onto fragments, trying to restart From the ashes, from the wreckage, from the darkness in my heart I'm picking up the pieces, trying to find who we are
