Once upon a broken heart

Once upon a broken heart, where dreams fell apart,
In the shadows of yesterday, I stand torn away.
Pieces on the ground, silent and profound,
Hoping time can mend the scars, but they’re written in the stars.
Once upon a broken heart, I learned to breathe again,
In the silence of the dark, I found the strength within.
Once upon a broken heart, I lost and I found,
Through the ashes and the pain, I'm standing on solid ground.
Love was a fairytale, a story meant to fail,
Words that cut like knives, they took away the light.
But here I am reborn, though bruised and torn,
Rising from the flames of all those hurtful games.
Once upon a broken heart, I learned to breathe again,
In the silence of the dark, I found the strength within.
Once upon a broken heart, I lost and I found,
Through the ashes and the pain, I'm standing on solid ground.
Now I see the cracks are where the light breaks through,
Every scar a line that leads me back to you—
Not to the past, not to the pain,
But to who I am now, unafraid of the rain.
Once upon a broken heart, I learned to breathe again,
In the silence of the dark, I found the strength within.
Once upon a broken heart, I lost and I found,
Through the ashes and the pain, I'm standing on solid ground.
Once upon a broken heart, I tell myself tonight,
That even broken dreams can shine a little light.
And though we fall apart, we can learn to start,
Another tale, another page, once upon a broken heart.
