Shards of Us

{soft piano arpeggios fading in} We met under fading stars

Your promises felt like home

Now the silence cuts so deep

I'm left here all alone

(oh) {close-mic'd emotional phrasing}

Every memory haunts me still

I reach but you're not there {building intensity} Why did you leave

me in the rain

My heart's still calling out your name

Love turned to ashes in my hands

I'm broken but I understand

(yeah) {soaring belted chorus}

Letters that I never sent

Photos fading on the wall

Every night I play pretend

That you're still here

after all (ahhhh) {soft verse dynamics} Why did you leave me in

the rain

My heart's still calling out your name

Love turned to ashes in my hands

I'm broken but I understand (ooh)

{full band reprise} I gave you everything I had

Now I'm learning how to breathe

{raw vocal break} Why did you leave me in the rain

My heart's still calling out your name

Love turned to ashes in my hands

I'm broken but I understand

{grand swelling finale}
