Shattered Porcelain

[Intro – soft, lingering piano notes] The light’s gone out in your old chair Your coffee mug still holds the air [Verse 1 – quiet, reflective] I still reach for your hand when I cross the street The radio plays our song and my knees go weak Your jacket hangs where you left it last week I keep the door unlocked just in case you seek [Pre-Chorus – building tension] I thought our story was written in stone But you tore the pages and left me alone [Chorus 1 – aching, vulnerable] I’m shattered porcelain on the kitchen floor Every piece of me’s been broken more and more You took the part of me I can’t restore Now I’m just a ghost who walks this empty floor [Interlude, Instrumental Solo – soft piano and string swell] [Verse 2 – raw, unfiltered] I still set two plates when I make my meals I talk to your pillow when the night feels real The phone still buzzes with your old ringtone I reach to answer before I know you’re gone [Pre-Chorus 2 – heightened emotion] I thought our love was a permanent home But you packed your bags and left me to roam [Chorus 2 – more powerful, strained vocals] I’m shattered porcelain in the pouring rain Every crack’s a memory that won’t fade away You took the light that kept my dark at bay Now I’m just a shadow who’s lost his way [Bridge – quiet, desperate] I sweep the pieces but they won’t stick back I call your name but there’s no turning back I wait for a knock that will never come I’m still holding on to what we’ve become [Final Chorus – full string accompaniment, emotional climax] I’m shattered porcelain, too broken to mend Every breath I take is a reminder of the end You took the love that was my only friend Now I’m just a mess who can’t start again [Outro – fading piano, soft vocal whisper] The light’s gone out in your old chair I’m still waiting for you to be there
