Masterpiece

I need to believe
That I’m worth
Dying for
Because I’ve been 
Broken by everyone
I’ve fallen for
And this is slowly
Killing me
Please come and
Save me

It’s been four years
Still thoughts of you
Can bring me to tears
She’s the best
I’ve ever had
Now even in the good
I picture the bad
I’m still in the emptiness
Of where she left me
The ghost of you
Won’t leave me be

I need to believe
That I’m worth 
Fighting for
Because I’ve been
Forgotten by everyone
I’ve fallen for
And this is slowly 
Killing me
Please come and
Save me

I’m driving myself
Insane
I’m blaming myself 
For the pain
But maybe, just maybe
You were never
Right for me
Maybe, just maybe
I was blind
And I could never see
The real treasure
That was meant to be


I need to believe
That I’m worth
Dying for
Because I’ve been 
Broken by everyone
I’ve fallen for
And this is slowly
Killing me
Please come and
Save me

God, please create in me
A piece of art
Because in this heartbreak
I’ve forgotten who you are
I know hidden in this brokenness
You see a masterpiece
I know deep inside of me
I am your masterpiece
