eyes closed, i'm awake

t w en t y - two pieces

You didn't come back

I had spent so long preparing

myself for it,

yet I lost it after a year

I waited three-hundred and sixty-five days

for a man who broke promises as easily as he made them

I hate you I hate you I hate you

All those days I spent

feeling guilty because of

how I felt,

and you made me think

I loved you and then left

for good

They told me you were 

gonna break my heart

and, boy, you did

I used to think of us

as two pieces

That we completed each other

But now I look

at my heart and 

you've stolen the other half

Your heart,

the half I thought you'd given to me

But it was never yours to give

Two hearts make one,

the shapes put together

is the shape of the hearts

we drew to each other 

that night so many years ago

What am I without you?

Trying to die trying to die trying to die

I always thought I would leave you,

that you would get over me 

and I would keep living

because maybe I saved you

in some way

But I was wrong,

and now I am the one with

a screaming heartache

We were a perfect

puzzle of two pieces,

but you cut me away

and I have to live with that

Alone

I will not die,

because I promised 

you to live

and I am stronger

than a broken heart

I am stronger stronger stronger
