Piece by piece, shard by shard,
I put it together, my broken mirror,
And just for a second, I see myself,
My hands are cut, my face is gaunt,
But I know things will be okay.
I go to reach the fruit of my labour,
And with my touch, it all breaks down,
And I along with it.They tell me to breathe, it will all be okay,
As they step on all I've ever worked on and hoped for
And ask me what's wrong.Every piece I can place,
I can picture everything,
All I've ever expected,
And I can feel the moment, the cuts on my hands,
When they fade and shatter,My wings have been clipped.
And I build, and I build, and will it ever be enough?
I miss those few happy days,
When I was blind to the cracks,
And my mirror seemed whole.Now no matter how much I try,
Whatever I touch turns to dust.
Too scared to fix things,
Too cowardly to end it all.Piece by piece, shard by shard,
I build my broken mirror.
I watch as it crumbles again, the image changed forever,
And I can't help but take the blame.
