Fragments Remain Lyrics

Dusty memories live on in the chest beyond the top stair

Forgotten treasures memories abound, remnants of a life once shared

The broken alarm clock a silent call to wake me from a past once seen

A golden heart locket a love now faded what could have been

A faded photo edges worn two smiling faces young and free

Laughter lines engage my gaze a time of innocence youthfully

The worn-out sneakers scuffed and torn adventures chased lessons learned no more

Love letters yellowed pages crumpled words unspoken emotions explored

Fragments remain in a drawer they hide

Stories locked inside secrets they confide

The broken alarm clock a time that's flown

The anniversary card a love now unknown

Fragments that whisper bittersweet refrain

Of dreams pursued shadows left in the rain

But seen in the dust a glimmer shines a strength I never knew I had

These fragments together tell my life of who I am and who I've become I'm so glad

Those perfect days we thought would go on seemed never ending to us back then

How were we to know that it all would change not knowing that it all might end

Our hopes and dreams the plans we made so eager to please so easily said

It fills my thoughts from day to day how it all went so wrong were we both misled

Fragments remain in a drawer they hide

Stories locked inside secrets they confide

The broken alarm clock a time that's flown

The anniversary card a love now unknown

Fragments that whisper bittersweet refrain

Of dreams pursued shadows left in the rain

But the rain has stopped the sun breaks through a new chapter dawns a future due

The past I treasure lessons learned it's true as I move on skies of endless blue
