Scattered Across the Floor
It's impossible to put them together
like they were before
Glue won't hold it together
neither will tape
The damage is permanent
like the pain I can't escape
I don't care about the blood
I'm willing to risk it
to keep love in my life
I'll try and fix it
yet my mission is impossible
My task obsolete
I could try a million times
and still meet defeat
Because a million shattered pieces
are spread across the floor
and it's impossible to put them together
like they were before...
