Half of Me - BlairxMusic

You took half of me Locked away in a box Pictures gathering dust As the hands keep moving on the clock Memories fading slowly Like words we used to say Little pieces of forever Getting further every day That piece is gone Can’t be replaced When I look up on my shelf I see the part of me that stayed And every faded photograph Every ticket, every note Feels like a chapter of my life That somehow lost its home I never thought a cardboard box Could hold so much pain A whole lifetime of laughter Packed away with your name Half of me is missing Half of me remains Trying to make peace with all The things I can’t reclaim A part of me died inside Chained forever to yesterday Feelings left to hide As I watch the years drift away These years can’t be replaced Memories stored inside a box with a name One that cuts two people so deep Only they know what those moments mean And I’m learning how to live With what’s left of me Since you took half of me Leaving a life behind Isn’t something that you choose It’s waking up each morning Still carrying the proof The coffee mugs, the old receipts The places that we knew Funny how the smallest things Can bring me back to you I trace the edges of the box But I can’t open up the past No matter how much I wish it Some things weren’t built to last I never thought goodbye could leave Such a permanent stain Like a house that’s standing empty After years of pouring rain Half of me is missing Half of me remains Trying to make peace with all The things I can’t reclaim A part of me died inside Chained forever to yesterday Feelings left to hide As I watch the years drift away These years can’t be replaced Memories stored inside a box with a name One that cuts two people so deep Only they know what those moments mean And I’m learning how to live With what’s left of me Since you took half of me Maybe healing isn’t forgetting Maybe it’s learning to let go Maybe the pieces that are broken Still have somewhere else to go Maybe one day I’ll look back And the hurt won’t feel the same But tonight that box is heavy And so is your name Half of me is missing But half of me survived Though the dream we built together Couldn’t make it out alive The years can’t be replaced And the memories still remain Tucked inside that little box Marked with a familiar name A part of me died inside But a part still beats somehow And I’m learning who I am Without us now You took half of me But the half that’s left behind Is slowly finding reasons To come back to life.
