Lyrics: Rylan
Music: Rylan
Ticking... ticking...
Yesterday won't stop ticking
I kept your letters in a box of glass
Thought if I held tight the time would pass
But every word you wrote cut like shattered brass
And every memory bleeds through the cracks I amass
I traced your shadow on the bedroom floor
Till there was nothing left to trace anymore
You said "forever" like an open door
Then closed it quiet when you walked out the door
But these pieces... still cut deep
And so do I
So do I
I will break this shattered yesterday
Even if the shards all ricochet
I will burn the promises you betrayed
I was never meant to fade away
Break... break... shattered yesterday
Break... break... shattered yesterday
You built a cage and you called it home
Told me I'd freeze if I dared to roam
But I learned to breathe in the great unknown
Now this hollow chest is my sacred throne
You thought the silence would make me small
That I'd fade quiet against the wall
But I am the echo that haunts your hall
And I am learning I was never small
These pieces... they're sharp and new
But so am I
So am I
I will break this shattered yesterday
Even if the shards all ricochet
I will burn the promises you betrayed
I was never meant to fade away
Break... break... shattered yesterday
Break... break... shattered yesterday
I am not the girl who waited at the window
I am not the ghost you left behind
I collected every fracture every splinter
And I built a spine from what you left to die
I BUILT A SPINE FROM WHAT YOU LEFT TO DIE
I will break this shattered yesterday
Even if the shards all ricochet
I will burn the promises you betrayed
I was never meant to fade away
Break... break... shattered yesterday
Break... break... shattered yesterday
Break...
Into pieces I can hold...
Into pieces I can mold...
I'm not broken...
I'm remade from yesterday
