Verse 1:
I found your letter on the dresser today,
The words blurred as my tears gave you away.
“You need to find yourself, it’s not you it’s me” –
But all I find is heartbreak where you used to be.
Our pictures on the wall now just haunt the room,
Echoes of laughter turn to silence and gloom.

Chorus:
This is my shattered heart serenade,
A song for the love that decided to fade.
Pieces of me lie scattered on the floor,
Since you’re not here to hold them anymore.
I’m picking up fragments of what you left behind,
Trying to solve this puzzle of lonely nights in my mind.

Verse 2:
I still set the table for two out of habit,
Then I remember – and the pain, I can’t stand it.
Your coffee cup sits cold, collecting dust,
Like the plans that we made and the dreams that went bust.
Friends say “time will heal,” but I feel every hour,
As if I’m walking through fire that’s lost all its power.

Chorus:
In this shattered heart serenade I sing,
Every memory cuts, every promise stings.
Our song on the radio brings me to my knees,
Because it was ours – now it’s a bittersweet breeze.
I’m clinging to the hope that the pain will subside,
But it hangs in the air, an uninvited guide.

Bridge:
Late at night I swear I feel you here,
Your touch in a daydream so painfully near.
I reach across the sheets to your empty side,
It hits me again that our forever died.
My chest tightens up and I can’t breathe in,
They call it “heartbreak” but it feels like a knife sinking in.
(If pain is love’s residue, I have enough for a lifetime…)

Chorus:
This shattered heart serenade drifts in the dark,
I strum these chords on the strings of my scars.
Every note is a teardrop, falling in time,
For a heart that was yours and a love that was mine.
Though you’re gone, this melody remains true,
A lullaby for the pieces I must mend without you.

In this song I find solace, however small it may be,
A way to bleed out the poison you left inside me.

La vie ne vaut rien
