Take a piece of my heart and keep it in a jar
Let it be kissed at first light by the soft burst of sunshine
If the universe can hear the evening prayers you say on my behalf
Let the light find me on the other side and lead me right into paradise

Take a piece of my soul and keep it in your glow
About to get taken away so in your hands I lay it trusting it to be safe
Can't stay here no, have to go down this long dark road where in years to come could be my home
It's hard to say if I'll ever find my way out of the filth and clay and see the other shades again

Take a piece of me keep it green daily as you breathe life into it
So if ever I'm lost it in my walk around the walls in search for the elves and unicorn
Let it be that which stills the tempest in my being leading me home to peace
And that soft voice that calls, out loud setting my course right away from the dark where a even a jot of light gets lost

Sometimes I wonder where I lost myself
But it's hard to retrace my steps
Rain has fallen and the footprints have been washed away
Lost in time, hanging in space never to be seen again

I think I miss me, the old me
Or maybe I never lost myself, just grew out of him
Or maybe the new me is just the devil I need
A necessary evil maybe just maybe

Fine and light it poured
On and on and on
While I waited or not
Maybe I was hiding
Hoping it would stop
So in peace I could walk
But on and on and on
It fell and kept on falling

Didn't want to get wet
I thought I was good at risk management
But time had no patience
Flew away left me here
Now the clouds have burst
On and on it pours
Like a dam that's been suffering for long
I've played my cards wrong

Home is where I'm supposed to be
Having a cup of hot tea
But I'm stuck like meat or green
Lodged between the teeth
Far from home
Can't hit the road
Lost in my thoughts already catching cold
I guess I'll have to go even if it means I'll be soaked

I blame you for what you did
But I don't judge you I love you still
It doesn't matter now does it?
You're safe in his arms while I'm here stuck

Took the light with you when you left
I never saw it coming would have prepared
Now all day long my eyes are red
There's a dam in my eyes that's about  to burst

I was ready to do whatever for you whenever
Would have gone anywhere with you wherever
You destroyed me when you said you were head over
Must have been as blind as a bat that you couldn't see that I was hurt

Seated by my side asking me if he was good for you
Didn't want to seem like a bad guy so I had to feign happy for you
Now i can't stop cursing myself because I was a ****** fool
I thought we had a thing but no there was never an us

Your words cut deeper than a knife
Seeing you with him used to be death in paradise
Note the tense for I made it out alive
I wish you the happily ever after that you want

It's all over now and i admit i got too close
I'll be fine, I just overdosed on the wrong dose
Thanks for being a part of my story even though I never chose
I'll just keep holding on the thought that the sun will be bring me love when the morning comes

Was just a kid with no silver spoon
Yet didn't see the world in black and white instead as colourful
Thought of the gods as super heroes
So waited earnestly for them to come to his aid

Like the periwinkles by the ocean
Get washed by the tides in any direction
So it was with him, poor kid
Yet days went by everyday with no greetings from his adored

So many questions he needed answers
No one could or would give because nobody knew any better
Who would put an innocent kid in this cruel world?
Was he a criminal of the hardened type in his previous life?

Got tired of waiting on the edges of miracles, been doing that all his life
Cursing under his breath threw his chill pills into a flowing river Nile
Stopped asking the day what Providence had for him
Started believing in himself soon as he stopped believing in them

Lost his wrong convictions when he broke free
His words were "***** destiny the partial queen
I had all in on inception so I'd rather put my luck on my inside
Than put my faith in the hands of fate

I know that no one would take me to El Dorado
Only i can take me to where me wants to go
I'm not an architect but i design the life I love and see
Nor am i a builder but i build my own world in this world

There will always be a seat for you in my heart
Though in a long while to come will remain empty
Just beyond the horizon I can see dark clouds gathering ready to strike
And also the mighty storm warming up like an athlete, I'm bracing tight

The paths we walked and the seas we sailed
That flower you placed by the window in my room to give it a warm touch
Do you remember that summer night on the couch, lights out
A lot of memories that we made together, so hard to throw them out

It would be a step away from being almost impossible to forget you
But I have a feeling I'll be fine just need to make some tweaks
I'm betting my money on time they say it heals
I guess we'll have to wait and see if it it's as good as they say it is
