This is a story of heartbreak, neglect, loneliness, longing, perseverance, and growth. It’s the story of rising out of the ashes life has dealt you and becoming a phoenix rising.

Pieces
Lyrics and music by Lauren Gruwell

Verse 1
Empty heart and broken home
Always feeling so alone
Searching for a place that I could belong
Tiny arms stretched for your hands
Met with callous in a glance
Kept the roses
And gave me your thorns

Chorus
You broke my spirit into pieces
And scattered it on the cold floor
I spent my days rebuilding what you stole
But I am not broken anymore
And the pieces of my puzzle make a whole
But you’re not in my picture anymore

Verse 2
Bitter looks and cutting words
Always trying to deserve
To change myself to prove I had worth
Wanting nothing more than love
To hear you say I was enough
Kept affection and gave me your scorn

Chorus
You broke my spirit into pieces
And scattered it on the cold floor
I spent my days rebuilding what you stole
But I am not broken anymore
And the pieces of my puzzle make a whole
But you’re not in my picture anymore

Bridge (heavy stacked ooo’s here- very cinematic/follow chord progression)
I questioned every part of me
Wondered why you couldn’t see
All I wanted and needed was you……

Chorus
You broke my spirit into pieces
And scattered it on the cold floor
I spent my days rebuilding what you stole
But I am not broken anymore
And the pieces of my puzzle make a whole
But you’re not in my picture anymore

And the pieces of my puzzle make a whole
Now that you’re not in the picture anymore
