There was a time you saw the real me
I could lift your world so effortlessly
But you turned, threw it all away
Left me in silence, nothing left to say
You fell from grace, looked me in the eye
Is it still truth, if it's wrapped in lies
You walked away, left all of this pain
Tell me, how is this ever okay
I am chipped away
A shadow of who I used to be
Broke my heart
I've had enough
Now I'm taking back what's left of me
To the love of my life
Let me be me
I tried to love you, but I lost the light
There are some flames that we just can't fight
You gave your all, but I could not see
Now I face the cost of what I let bleed
You deserve more than my plea
So I'll leave with my ego finally
You're not someone who needs to be saved
Sorry doesn't seem to carry enough weight
I am chipped away
A shadow of who I used to be
Broke my heart
I've had enough
Now I'm taking back what's left of me
To the love of my life
Let me be me
Pack it up, hit the highway
I'll find peace in my own lane
That lonely road led me home
Through the fire and the pain
Rock bottoms crowded, but I stood tall
Pain raised me up when I thought I'd fall
You couldn't break what was made to bend
My heart still can love, even at the end
I am chipped away
A shadow of who I used to be
Broke my heart
I've had enough
Now I'm taking back what's left of me
To the love of my life
Let me be me
