Scattered Heart

[Verse 1]
I left a little in Lisbon rain
A thread in a stranger’s borrowed name
A piece on a train through northern towns
A pulse where the harbor lights went down

I gave you the part that knew how to stay
Gave her the nerve to walk away
Gave them a laugh for the long flight home
Now every map has a piece of my own

[Pre-Chorus]
I kept saying I’d gather it back
When the roads stopped pulling me off track
But the farther I went, the more I knew
Each open door was a piece cut loose

[Chorus]
My heart is scattered everywhere
In your coat pocket, her kitchen chair
In a voice that calls from a different shore
In the hands of the ones I can’t reach anymore
I gave it away, and I’m still alive
A thousand small sparks, a thousand drives
It won’t all come home, and that’s the truth
I am made of the places I gave to you

[Verse 2]
There’s a scar in a café near Rome
A blue wristband from a night in Seoul
A postcard folded beneath my bed
With something kind I was too scared to say

I used to call that loss by another name
Count every goodbye like a personal blame
Now I see the pieces don’t make me less
They prove I was there, I said yes

[Pre-Chorus]
I kept wanting one room, one name
One clean border around the flame
But love doesn’t fit in a single frame
It leaves through the window and signs its name

[Chorus]
My heart is scattered everywhere
In your coat pocket, her kitchen chair
In a voice that calls from a different shore
In the hands of the ones I can’t reach anymore
I gave it away, and I’m still alive
A thousand small sparks, a thousand drives
It won’t all come home, and that’s the truth
I am made of the places I gave to you

[Bridge]
If you carry a piece, don’t carry the debt
You don’t have to promise you won’t forget
Let it beat where your life has begun
I was never built to belong to one

[Final Chorus]
My heart is scattered everywhere
In your coat pocket, her kitchen chair
In the morning trains and the salt-thick air
In every person who found me there
I gave it away, and I’m still alive
Not whole in one place, but wider inside
It won’t all come home, and I’m finally free
Every piece I gave became part of me

[Outro]
Somewhere you’re holding what I couldn’t keep
Somewhere I’m learning the distance can breathe
