Lyrics
[Intro]
(Soft, pained whisper) God, it hurts...
(Deep, shaky breath) Here we go again...
[Verse 1]
I ripped my chest wide open for you, darling
Spilled my guts, my hopes, my darkest fears
Thought we'd grow old and gray together
Now I'm drowning in these bitter tears
[Chorus]
My heart's in pieces on the floor (voice cracks)
And you... you just turned away
I'll never trust another soul (bitter laugh)
This pain's too much to bear each day
I'm haunted by your memory (whispered)
The love you tossed aside like trash
My heart's a fortress now, babe (voice hardens)
Built on the ruins of our past
[Verse 2]
Every tender moment we shared
Feels like a knife twisting in my chest
You swore you'd love me 'til the end of time
Now I'm left alone, so goddamn blessed
[Chorus]
My heart's in pieces on the floor (voice trembles)
And you... you just turned away
I'll never trust another soul (angry)
This pain's too much to bear each day
I'm haunted by your memory (soft sob)
The love you tossed aside like trash
My heart's a fortress now, babe (determined)
Built on the ruins of our past
[Bridge]
(Spoken, raw emotion) I tried so hard to forget you
To numb this ache inside my soul
But every time I catch your scent, hear your laugh
I'm right back where you left me... broken and alone
[Chorus]
My heart's in pieces on the floor (anguished cry)
And you... you just turned away
I'll never trust another soul (resolute)
This pain's too much to bear each day
I'm haunted by your memory (whispered, pained)
The love you tossed aside like trash
My heart's a fortress now, babe (strong, final)
Built on the ruins of our past
[Outro]
(Softly, with resignation) I loved you, God knows I did
But now it's time to say goodbye
My heart's locked up tight forever
You'll never see me cry... never again
