When you look at me I know that you only see a single entity
But what if I told you that you've broken a million hearts that belong to just one body
What if I collected all the powder that's covered my floor from every heart of mine that you've broken
And what if I've healed and restored them each and every time
Tinkering them back together with a new design, making sure they embodied what the last one didn't
They always seem to end up back in the same place, discarded next to the last one
If I collected all of the fragments to weave a new mosaic of my heart, would you recognize the old colors?
What if I took the spark you ignited in me and burned my skin so all the unwanted pieces would melt away
What if I let the light shine down on all the scars you gave me with that dagger between your lips
What if the golden sparkles danced around everything you thought was wrong with me, and pointed someone else to see all the things you didn't
They'd have a sense of direction that you never had, and a purpose when they touched my body
You taught me to look at you with a critical eye, so now I pick you a part too
Inspecting every little thing I wish you'd be for me
We let other lovers mend our hands that are full of cuts from sifting through our fragmented past
The wounds are still fresh, and I know they burn when you touch her
Your blood is leaving marks all over her skin
Maybe you'll enjoy that shade of red better on her
Did you ever think that if you just let me be, I'd shine the brightest I could ever be?
It might've been the greatest thing you've ever seen
Now we'll never know because there's crevices where I used to be whole
And maybe now I'll be just bright enough to catch the gaze of someone who loves all my vivid patterns and shades exactly how they are
