[Verse 1] I walked away, I know. How many pieces did I leave behind? In every shard Of a once-perfect soul. [Verse 2] I romanticized What love should be, But love’s not that sacred creed I used to preach. Love is this broken thing, It walks hand in hand With your way of being. [Bridge] It may have once Been an ideal, But it barely came to be. [Chorus] I walked away, but I longed to stay. I love you in a way I can no longer say. I went out to build My imperfection. I left to return, Remade, Incomplete, Breaking what was perfect Just to seek redemption. [Verse 3] I romanticized What love should be, But love’s not that sacred creed I used to preach.
