Broken Hearts, Mended Minds

Nicolas Chamillet

Compositor: Nicolas Chamillet

I used to think we were meant to be
Like puzzle pieces lost at sea
But now I see the edges weren’t right
We forced the fit, blinded by the light
The love we shared, it wasn’t true
It broke me down, and shattered you
Now I look back, through clearer eyes
Realize your love was built on lies

The scars are deep, but I'm still here
I’ve faced the storm, I’ve faced the fear
You tore my heart, but I’ve grown wise
I see the truth behind the lies

Broken hearts, mended minds
I leave your shadow far behind
The pain still lingers in my chest
But I know now it’s for the best
I can rebuild, piece by piece
Though love is lost, I find my peace
Broken hearts, mended minds
In this silence, I'm refined

I thought that love would heal it all
But in your arms, I felt so small
You took my strength, you made me weak
And for so long, I couldn’t speak
But now my voice returns in waves
I’ve climbed out from your hollow graves
The heartache’s real, but I'm okay
I’ll heal again, I’ll find my way

The chains are gone, I'm standing free
You won’t control what’s left of me
My heart may break, but my mind is whole
I’ve taken back my battered soul

Broken hearts, mended minds
I leave your shadow far behind
The pain still lingers in my chest
But I know now it’s for the best
I can rebuild, piece by piece
Though love is lost, I find my peace
Broken hearts, mended minds
In this silence, I'm refined

I’ll gather up the shattered glass
Each broken piece of what’s past
My heart may ache, but my mind’s intact
I’ve learned the truth, I won’t go back
To a love that made me blind
I'm stronger now, I’ve realigned

You were a storm, I couldn’t see
But I’ve survived your raging sea
Now the calm has settled in
Though broken hearts, the mind can win
The damage done, it fades with time
I won’t let you define my climb
I’ll mend the heart, I’ll heal the soul
I'm finally gaining back control

Broken hearts, mended minds
I leave your shadow far behind
The pain still lingers in my chest
But I know now it’s for the best
I can rebuild, piece by piece
Though love is lost, I find my peace
Broken hearts, mended minds
In this silence, I'm refined

There’s a moment when you look inside yourself and realize
Not everything broken needs to be fixed at once
The heart, it takes time
But the mind? The mind can find clarity, even in the chaos
You learn to separate the ache from the truth
And when you do
You understand that pain doesn’t define you
Love doesn’t define you
You define yourself
And when you face your feelings
Raw and unfiltered, you take back the power
The power to heal, to rebuild, and to become whole again
Broken hearts, but mended minds
