Broken, shattered, splintered.

Time Bomb

My soul was broken 'fore the night was through,

My heart lies splintered all along the way;

Tell me, my love, what have I let you do?

I played my part, I must believe that's true,

Though I'm the one who feels the pain this day;

My soul was broken 'fore the night was through.

A shattered image reflects back at you,

In what's become, I've learned I have no say;

Tell me, my love, what have I let you do?

The words you spoke in kindness were so few,

The world around me turns deep shades of gray;

My soul was broken 'fore the night was through.

You faltered as the love between us grew,

And couldn't keep your demon thoughts at bay;

Tell me, my love, what have I let you do?

I don't know if my life will start anew,

Will root itself in love without your sway;

My soul was broken 'fore the night was through,

Tell me, my love, what have I let you do?
