Lyrics

I used to stare at the ceiling, lost in the silence
Heart cracked open like violence, buried in defiance
Didn’t know love, just echoes and sirens
Now I see light in the shape of alliance
People came through when I least expected
Each one a piece, yeah, the scars got connected
Wasn’t perfection, but somehow it mended
A soul that was bent up, broken, and dented
You held the corners, stabilized my frame
Some gave color to the parts I blamed
Others filled in where the grief remained
Now I don’t just survive — I reclaim

You built my heart like puzzle pieces
Every crack, you helped me believe it
Didn’t fix me — just helped me see this
I was never missing, I was just in pieces
Yeah, the pain taught me how to need this
Every goodbye made space for Jesus
And every friend that never ceased this
You built my heart like puzzle pieces

I ain’t made of gold, I’m layered with flaws
But you saw the art when the rest saw loss
Didn’t judge the box, just helped me draw
My edges again through love’s own laws
Some days I was numb, yeah, faded and jaded
You gave me a truth when my world felt shaded
Not with sermons, but silence that waited
Love ain't loud — it’s patient and sacred
You fit in spots I didn’t know were hollow
Taught me to lead, even when I follow
Some walked away, but you stayed in the sorrow
Pieced me back in like hope for tomorrow

I broke down, shattered on bathroom tiles
Couldn’t breathe through the panic, faked the smiles
Felt like the pieces would drown in denial
But you saw the storm and still walked the mile
You didn’t flinch when I spilled my shame
Told me broken is a powerful name
That healing ain’t pretty, it’s covered in blame
But worth every second when you’re fighting the flame
Now I got fire, but it’s focused and clear
Used to run from myself — now I stand in the mirror
I see all the hands that carried me here
And I build with my past, not bury it in fear

You built my heart like puzzle pieces
Every crack, you helped me believe it
Didn’t fix me — just helped me see this
I was never missing, I was just in pieces
You made space for all my weakness
Laid down grace like it was seamless
And every friend that never ceased this
You built my heart like puzzle pieces

I used to think I had to do it alone
Toughen up, walk cold, call the pain my home
But you walked in like a whisper, low tone
Said “Even strength needs a cornerstone”
I’m not who I was, but I’m proud of that
'Cause pain built a heart that won’t collapse
I’m a mosaic of every relapse
Still standing tall like, “Look at that”

You built my heart like puzzle pieces
Out of ashes, out of recesses
I used to break, now I breathe this
Faith in the shape of forgiveness
Yeah, the pain gave birth to meaning
And the love gave weight to healing
Now every name that stayed through weakness
Is a part of me — my puzzle pieces
