How Do I Get Back To Me

How do I get back to me?
The me I gave all of to you?
I can't seem to find all the pieces
That shattered when things went askew

I try to move on with my life
I even tried to love someone new
But when I tried to give him my heart
I couldn't..It still belongs to you

That's not the only piece missing you see
There's actually quite a few
My faith in love, my title, my future
Was all wrapped up in you

I'm left broken and wide open
Emotionally naked for all to view
This time it's my heart, my soul
My spirit, where you left the bruise 

You left behind "the love of you life" 
wondering what did I do
To be left in the mud 
Just so you could find you 

Well I hope you found what you're looking for 
I'm serious, I really do 
But if you ever come back around again
You won't find anyone you once knew 

I'm growing and I'm changing
I am becoming someone new 
Might not be today, might not be tomorrow
But one day, you'll be in MY rearview
