I look around at these empty walls,
echoes of laughter faded calls
Memories linger, shadows stay,
pieces of me lost along the way
Every mile,
every choice I made,
left a mark that wouldn't fade
Hearts of my heart scattered far,
I wonder now who we really are
I'm picking up the pieces one by one,
try and see who I've become
Through every scar and broken dream,
I'm finding the man beneath the seams
I've seen my share of highs and lows,
places I'll never call home
Left parts of me in stories told,
some whispered,
soft,
others bold
There's a side of me I'm scared to know,
buried deep but starting to show
A quiet truth that won't let go,
in every line,
in every shadow
I'm picking up the pieces one by one,
try and see who I've become
Through every scar and broken dream,
I'm finding the man beneath the seams
And maybe someday I'll make peace,
with all the ghosts that haunt my sleep
Through every tear I'll find my way,
learning to be okay
Now here I stand,
bearing true,
with every flaw I'm seeing through Not perfect,
no,
but finally free,
embracing the man who's truly me
I'm picking up the pieces one by one,
try and see who I've become
Through every scar and broken dream,
I'm finding the man beneath the seams
So here I am,
as whole as I can be,
the pieces gathered carefully
