Shattered Pieces

Lyrics

Verse 1
You packed your books in quiet
Folded the summer shirt you left
Coffee went cold beside us
You said
"I think this is for the best"
I watched the door swing slowly
Like it was choosing sides again
My hands were full of questions
My mouth just tasted your name

Chorus
These shattered pieces
Cut me every time I breathe in
Every memory
Is sharper than the day you left
If loving you was easy
Why's forgetting feel like sinking deeper
I'm sweeping up the floor
But I still bleed from shattered pieces

Verse 2
Your sweater's on the chair still
I swear it carries how you laugh
I talk to it at midnight
So I don't have to face the fact
My friends all say I'm healing
They don't see the mess upstairs
Your ghost is doing circles
In every single empty chair

Chorus
These shattered pieces
Cut me every time I breathe in
Every memory
Is sharper than the day you left
If loving you was easy
Why's forgetting feel like sinking deeper
I'm sweeping up the floor
But I still bleed from shattered pieces

Bridge
I tried to burn the letters (hey)
The smoke just spelled your name
I tried to change my number
Still pick it up the same
I tell the mirror "leave her"
It stares like it believes ya
Then shows me who I am
Someone still reaching for your hand

Chorus
These shattered pieces
Cut me every time I breathe in
Every memory
Is sharper than the day you left
If loving you was easy
Why's forgetting feel like sinking deeper
I'm sweeping up the floor
But I still bleed from shattered pieces
Yeah
I still bleed from shattered pieces (oh)
I still bleed from shattered pieces
