Piece of my Heart
By James Torrey
Verse 1
The house is quiet now, your picture's off the wall,
The echoes of goodbye still haunt these empty halls.
You took the dreams we built and tore them all apart,
One small piece of my heart is all I have left.
Verse 2
From the moment you walked out and left such a mess,
I've been sweeping up the memories, doing my best.
But every little reminder cuts me like a knife,
And one small piece of my heart barely survives.
Chorus
One small piece of my heart is all I have left,
After the tears I've cried and the nights I've second-guessed.
You drove away with forever, left me with regret,
One small piece of my heart is all I have left.
I'm holding on to that last little spark,
One small piece of my heart in the dark.
Verse 3
The old jukebox downtown still plays our favorite song,
And everybody asks me where it all went wrong.
I smile and shake my head, but they don't see the scars,
From carrying what's left of this broken heart.
Bridge
Maybe someday the hurt will fade away,
Maybe I'll find the strength to face another day.
But tonight these lonely stars are all I've got to hold,
While the last piece of my heart fights the cold.
Final Chorus
One small piece of my heart is all I have left,
From the moment you walked out and left such a mess.
You left me with the memories I can't forget,
One small piece of my heart is all I have left.
Yeah, one small piece of my heart is all I have left,
And somehow it's still loving you yet.
