Splintering

By Sara Bareilles

[Verse 1]

We found a tender love it blossomed wild and free

Pure proof was in your arms when you were kissing me

I was an open book, you were an ocean breeze

Rustling through pages I never should have let you see

Never should have let you see


[Chorus]

Was I so wrong being such an open book?

Trusting so soon, losing all the tender time it took to love you

Just to crawl away with broken wings

And the pieces of my heart still splintering

The pieces of my heart still splintering


[Verse 2]

Friend’s asking where you are, say I misunderstood

I say he’s gone away, but he’s not gone for good

Speak of romantic plans we’re looking forward to

Meanwhile, imagining you end up with someone new


[Chorus]


[Verse 3]

It’s surely over now, but how I ache inside

This ocean full of tears that I’m about to cry

You’re sorry for this pain, yeah, that’s not what you meant

I’m sorry too but my feelings more permanent


[Chorus]
