Mind racing, but what once was is no more
The small giggles of early morning
Replaced by a crushed and broken hearth
Hitting pause and then rewind

The small giggles of early morning
Hugs, kisses and a family warmth
Hitting pause and then rewind
Torn apart with a single want

Hugs, kisses and a family warmth
What was it that swayed him?
Torn apart with a single want
Regret filled eyes linger but the backs have already turned

What was it that swayed him?
Outside looking in. Perfection.
Regret filled eyes linger but the backs have already turned
Skin deep were the smiles as it fell to pieces

Outside looking in. Perfection.
Arms outstretched reaching yet not grasping
Skin deep were the smiles as it fell to pieces
Crumbling only for another to come together
