Benjamin John - Piece by Piece

Lyrics: I let it happen, then I shut it down Buried it deep where it couldn’t be found Climbed through years trying to outrun The boy I was and what I’d done But the past keeps circling back around Oh, there’s no hiding what I’ve done A boy can’t outrun the damage spun Did I leave him somewhere inside Or did he vanish piece by piece? I spent my years avoiding What I knew was true Time didn’t help me forget it Just made it harder to undo Now it’s risen into view I’ve been afraid of facing All the truth I knew Time didn’t wash it over Just made the silence harder Now it’s breaking through I see that time in flashes still A careless heart, a reckless will One wrong step, one moment blind And it carved itself into my life Like a scar I couldn’t heal If you could stand where I stood that time That’s where everything went wrong I’ve been carrying it ever since Yeah, I’ve been losing it piece by piece Still singing that same old song I stood there, took my chance Shaking at your door You looked at me, let it go I’m not that boy no more Oh, I stood there, took my chance And you gave me back my peace
