The Pieces

I think love has been shattered
                                  and the pieces lie still,
                                and we dare not fix it
                                   because that's not how we feel.
                                I think there is darkness headed my way
                                   and I wished I could have given you
                                more reasons to stay.
                                but I know you walked out 
                                   to find a brighter trail.
                                 and I have no magic, no,
                                   no magic spell.
                                 I couldn't love you I'm not that strong,
                                    I think I've been broken,
                                 now my words come out wrong.
                                 So I'll just be quiet and sit somewhere near,
                                    cause love has been shaken and the pieces lie near.
