Only a Memory
Shattered pledges and broken wings
Is all that you left me
Jagged edges and stolen dreams
Is all that I'll ever be
When you came into my world
I thought you'd leave a light on
Instead I woke up to the darkness
Stumbling looking for a switch
To turn you back on
Over night you stopped loving me
It wasn't slow, it wasn't fast
It was just over
I should've known beauty never lasts
Shattered pledges and broken wings
Is all that you left me
Jagged edges and stolen dreams
Is all that I'll ever be
When the dust cleared
After the storm
Clear skies let me see the truth
The one I thought was real
Was just a figment of my imagination
The you I knew never existed
I'll always have the scars you left
The memories will fade
And I'll be left with nothing
But a hope to move on from devastation
Shattered pledges and broken wings
Is all I thought you left me
Jagged edges and stolen dreams
Is all I thought I'd ever be
But now I'm done
I'm putting one foot in front of the other
Shattered pledges
Now I'm moving on
Jagged edges
Broken wings
Stolen dreams
It's all only a memory
