Like a tree in an empty forest
standing by it's self for years
as it starts to die
new trees grow around it
it's like the tree is being reborn
like i have
I've started a brand new life
a new life without you
before my life was like a puzzle with no picture to go by for reference
it was all just spur of the moments
and second guesses
now i have guidelines
..of who i want in my new life
i know where I'm going to end up
and now i have painted a picture of how to get there
the puzzle is almost finished, it's just missing one piece
just one piece missing ruins the whole thing
all the pieces are in front of me, i just have to put them in the right order
the right combination to show me my entire life
the piece you have doesn't seem to fit anymore
it looks like it does, but it doesn't
i need to find the piece that fits
you draw a picture of what you think the puzzle should look like
in other words the way you want my life to work out
it's a crayon drawing of you breaking my heart
but you're wrong, it's all wrong
i already know what it will look like
it'll be a picture of a lonely old tree dying, a tree with puzzle piece leaves
it's happy to die, because it's going to be reborn
it'll live on
and leave life behind it
all the second guesses
and broken hearts laying on the ground around it's decomposing trunk
it's puzzle piece leaves fall to the ground
each piece has a broken heart drawn on it
out of those thousands of pieces
i just need one, i can only fix one broken heart
and that one will complete my life
....but they all seem to fit
