Piece by Piece

I never said I was perfect...
Because I know I am not...
I am too young to know everything...
I am too naive to be wise enough for love.

I fell in love with a man. A kind man.
He made me smile, he made me laugh...
He taught me a lot of stuff...
He made me do things I never thought I'd do...
He made me wish for forever to be true...

It was a promising picture of love...
A deceiving happiness that was felt...
I thought it was love to last...
It was just a perfect imitation... A perfect deception.

Now you went away...
Dragging with you my world of love...
Crashing it to pieces...
Leaving me with nothing but memories and pain.

I have to pick up every piece...
I have to build my world piece by piece...
My hands are wounded and in pain...
But I believe that I'll be stronger this time around...
And no one like you will tear the new me down.
