A Part

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger/I just didn't know I was dying

The girl I still loved has now moved on
And I’m still chewing on the heartbreak
It will never feel the way it once did
Before everything fell apart

The boy I once knew is long gone
Flew through life but never thought to break
Lived for the wrong reasons, ended up dead
After everything fell apart 

The life I once lived carries on
It has left me behind at the wake
My eyes forever locked on the deathbed
And that’s when it all fell apart

I held on, to show I was strong 
Pushed through the troubles and the heartache 
Because letting go, my eternal dread 
Was the only thing keeping me from falling apart 

What doesn’t kill you
Makes you stronger
I just didn’t know
I was dying 
Just an illusion
Keep me moving
Then I fell apart 

Broken strings scattered on my knee
Torn pieces of who I want to be
Shattered dreams are all I have left of me
Help me, help me, help me, help me   

A mournful cry, the child of anguish   
Nothing to hold onto when I fell   
Into the deepest pits of darkness           
Here where I languish, writing a part 

A part 
Of what 
Once was 
Part of 
Me
