When Hope Shattered - ArlenaZara
I used to wake up with your name on my lips
Thinking love would always come back in a kiss
But the days turned quiet, the nights grew cold
And the story we wrote began to fold
I held onto every little sign
Every"I love you" you left behind
But the truth came crashing like a storm
And I realized I was all alone
I thought we had forever
But forever wasn't enough
When hope shattered
It felt like glass on the floor
Every piece of my heart was something I couldn't ignore
I believed in us, I believed in you
But the dream I held broke in two
When hope shattered
I didn't know
I didn't know how to live anymore
I kept your pictures, I kept your words
Like they were wings I couldn't burn
But the flame died out, the light went dim
And I was left with only him
The ghost of us still haunts my mind
A love so cruel, a love unkind
I tried to mend what was broken inside
But the pain just grew with every lie
I thought love was my saving grace
But it left me empty in its place
When hope shattered
It felt like glass on the floor
Every piece of my heart was something I couldn't ignore
I believed in us, I believed in you
But the dream I held broke in two
When hope shattered
I didn't know
I didn't know how to live anymore
If I could go back, I'd choose myself
I'd choose my peace, I'd choose my health
I'd walk away before it began
Before hope turned into a broken plan
I loved you deeply, I loved you true
But hope shattered when you withdrew
When hope shattered
I found the strength to rise
I picked up the pieces, I wiped my eyes
I'll rebuild my heart, I'll start again
I'll find a love that doesn't end
When hope shattered
I learned to live without you
The glass may cut, the scars may stay
But I'll keep moving day by day
When hope shattered
I found myself again
