This song is about reflecting on the past, realizing that you made mistakes, accepting that fact, and in the end being able to say you gave everything you had. This song represents that point in the story in which there is no going back because both parties are moving on in their own ways.
lyrics
The wounds that you left me, so perfect and so deep, define me. And though I am healing, consistently they bleed, reminding of roses in the snow, left frozen and alone.
I sift through these broken remains, our splattered past stains, my shattered glass heart, consumes me. I know, reflecting on, all I've done wrong, that I gave you my heart, completely.
The scars start to harden, your name scrawled on my arm, worn and charred. Forever to remind me, of guarded memories, held dearly like couch spent afternoons, and practice honeymoons.
I sift through these broken remains, our splattered past stains, my shattered glass heart, consumes me. I know, reflecting on, all I've done wrong, that I gave you my heart, completely.
With every passing day, I start to find my strength, recover the words to say. I didn't have a day of regret, like the moment you told me you found someone else, and claim that you love him the same way you loved me once.
I sift through these broken remains, our splattered past stains, my shattered glass heart, consumes me. I know, reflecting on, all I've done wrong, that I gave you my heart, completely. Reflecting on, all I've done wrong, that I gave you my heart, completely.
