[Intro – Low Trembling Electric Guitar, Deep Bass Pulse, Soft Female Humming, Slow Soulful Build] [Verse 1 – Smoky, Intimate Female Vocals] I've been walking through the shadows, Of a life I used to know, Carrying a thousand memories, Of the things I had to let go. There's a girl inside the mirror, With a story in her eyes, She's been holding all the pieces, Of a thousand last goodbyes. [Pre-Chorus – Bass Grows, Raw Vocal Emotion] And I tried to keep on running, Tried to leave it all behind, But every road I've ever taken, Left another part of mine. [Chorus – Powerful Raspy Female Belt, Full Blues-Soul Groove] Ohhh, the pieces of me left behind, Are scattered somewhere back in time. In every heart I couldn't save, In every love I gave away. Ohhh, I've been broken, I've been blind, Lost a little more with every climb. And I wonder if I'll ever find, All the pieces of me left behind. [Instrumental – Gritty Electric Guitar Hook, Deep Rolling Bass, Heavy Stomp Drums] [Verse 2 – Low, Soulful, Slightly Raspy] There's a piece of me in yesterday, In the words I never said, In the nights I cried in silence, With a thousand things inside my head. There's a piece inside the people, Who walked away and never knew, How much of me I gave away, Just trying to make it through. [Pre-Chorus – Female Harmonies Begin to Rise] And I kept on giving everything, Till there was nothing left to give, Now I'm learning how to find myself, And remembering how to live. [Chorus – Bigger, Gritty, Emotional Vocal Runs] Ohhh, the pieces of me left behind, Are scattered somewhere back in time. In every heart I couldn't save, In every love I gave away. Ohhh, I've been broken, I've been blind, Lost a little more with every climb. And I wonder if I'll ever find, All the pieces of me left behind. [Bridge – Instruments Drop to Bass and Guitar, Haunting Female Vocals] Maybe I was never meant, To be the girl I used to be. Maybe every shattered piece, Was making room for something free. And maybe all the things I've lost, Were never really mine to keep. But there's a part of who I was, That still comes looking in my sleep. [Build – Rising Gospel Harmonies, Heavy Drums Return] Oh, I gave my heart, I gave my soul, I gave away the things, That made me whole. But I'm still here, I'm still alive, With every broken piece, I've learned to survive. [Final Chorus – Explosive Soulful Female Belting, Full Band, Gospel Harmonies] OHHH, THE PIECES OF ME LEFT BEHIND, ARE STILL OUT THERE SOMEWHERE IN TIME! In every tear that hit the ground, In every dream I never found. Ohhh, I was broken, I was blind, But there's a fire I still hold inside. And maybe I don't need to find, Every piece of me I left behind. [Outro – Stripped-Back Guitar, Deep Warm Bass, Soft Raspy Female Voice] Some pieces stay in yesterday, Some pieces fade with time. But the woman standing here today, Is still a soul of mine. Mmm, I'm still mine... Even with the pieces left behind. [End – Final Guitar Note Rings Out, Soft Organ Fades]
