A heartfelt ballad reflecting on the pain of losing someone special. The song explores the theme of heartache and how the departure of a loved one leaves behind an indelible mark. The emotional lyrics convey the feeling that the person has taken a part of you, leaving you to navigate life with an incomplete heart.
Verse 1:
I saw you walking away, through the fading light,
A shadow in the distance, out of reach tonight.
You turned around to glance, but you didn’t see me stare,
As you carried pieces of us into the air.
Chorus:
You took a piece of me, when you walked away,
Left an echo in my heart, where I used to play.
Now I find myself, in every memory,
Living in the fragments, of what used to be.
Verse 2:
The laughter that we shared, now a haunting tune,
Every whispered word, feels like the light of the moon.
You took the brightest stars, when you turned to go,
A world without your light, is a world I don’t know.
Chorus:
You took a piece of me, when you walked away,
Left an echo in my heart, where I used to play.
Now I find myself, in every memory,
Living in the fragments, of what used to be.
Bridge:
Time may heal the scars, but it won’t fill the hole,
You left a mark on me, a bruise upon my soul.
I gather all the pieces, of the dreams we used to weave,
But every time I try, I just can’t quite believe.
Chorus:
You took a piece of me, when you walked away,
Left an echo in my heart, where I used to play.
Now I find myself, in every memory,
Living in the fragments, of what used to be.
Outro:
So here I stand alone, with my thoughts and dreams,
Finding strength to carry on, though it’s harder than it seems.
You took a piece of me, but I’ll learn to be whole,
Through the cracks, I will shine, with a resolute soul.
