Lyrics Pieces of me were scattered everywhereWhen you walked away and left me there Broken and torn, I felt less than enough Lost my true self in pursuit of your love But now I'm working on being wholeHealing every part of my body and soulChorus I’m picking up the parts of my shattered heart And holding them with tendernessStitching up the seams of what was ripped apartNot sure how I'll get to the end of thisBut I'll keep picking up the parts Verse 2Change is so hard when hurt is what you’ve knownI was lost in a fog, afraid and aloneBut there's power in the pain as I wipe away my tears Finding the strength to overcome my fears Now its time for me to rise Piece by piece, I'm rebuilding my lifeChorusI’m picking up the parts of my shattered heart And holding them with tendernessStitching up the seams of what was ripped apartNot sure how I'll get to the end of thisBut I'll keep picking up the parts Bridge I'm carrying the scars of what I've come through But I won't let them define me ChorusI’m picking up the parts of my shattered heart And holding them with tendernessStitching up the seams of what was ripped apartNot sure how I'll get to the end of thisBut I'll keep picking up the parts
