Shattered Can'T Be Made Whole a Collaboration With Brenda Chiri
Everyday its the same I'm haunted by
images of things that never
were
how much longer will it take?
how much more must I endure?
You put those images in your mind
Those same images that play each day
you allow yourself the very pain
so tell me how do you endure?
I take it day by day bit by bit
a dagger to my core taken to the hilt
sometimes with a few xanax
and some whiskey on the rocks
Tell me are those thoughts of me or her?
You think you hurt, you should
I do more your love was my drug
you took it from me too
It was always you though you might have doubt
I live a shattered life but I tried to give
you the biggest pieces, hoping we could make each other whole
but I guess it wasn't enough
Two shattered lives can't make one whole
I gave my all to you i may
have cast that first stone but
you threw it back twice as hard
At this point we're past regret but I'll say this just the same
in love and life I give back twice what I receive
and so it ended, I had nothing left to give
You had more to give, I thought you knew
I collected those pieces and tenderly glued them together
but you gave up so easily and much too soon
I think you weren't ready for what I had to give
To burn bright I burn fast
was never one for a steady glow
you offered love, I took a chance, made a step into the unkown
I began to sink into you, loosing myself slowly so I ran
back to the comfort of myself
and away from the unknown possibility of us
I knew you were scared to take a chance again so soon
I do believe you wanted "us" to work
but you broke me too my heart my soul my love my life
leaving them laying in pieces I can't forgive that
I'm not asking for forgiveness and I don't deserve your love
hate me if you wish spit upon my grave
I'm content with the thought of thinking of you
Well content then you will always be
That's the difference between me and you
I came to you with a whole heart,
you left it broken in two.
