Shattered
Terror Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hidden beneath this smile
You'll find a broken man
Had everything I needed
Until I shattered it like glass
The hardest parts forever
Knowing that I'm to blame
Don't wanna know, I couldn't live
With what you really think of me

And I shattered the insides
Of something I can't replace
But would you even care?
Would you even care?
Just show me a sign
That things will be okay
This could never be the same
How could this ever be the same

One thousand sorries
Won't make this go away
And after what I put you through
I deserve the worst pain

And I shattered the insides
Of something I can't replace
But would you even care?
Would you even care?
Just show me a sign
That things will be okay
This could never be the same
How could this ever be the same

I know I put a scar on you
I took that spark out of your eyes
You gave me everything and more
In return I gave you lies
I'll always worry about you
But I had to let you go
You deserve a life free of me
The hardest thing I've ever known

And I shattered the insides
Of something I can't replace
But would you even care?
But would you even care?
I know I could never replace you
Why would I want to
You're the best I've ever seen
God I hope you find your peace
God I hope you find your peace





I miss you more than you'd ever believe
I'm forever scarred by the love that I destroyed

Hidden beneath this smile
My smile hides the brokenness within me


You'll find a broken man
The person behind my smile is shattered into pieces


Had everything I needed
I was complete and happy


Until I shattered it like glass
But I ruined it all like breaking a glass


The hardest parts forever
The most difficult part is that it's permanent


Knowing that I'm to blame
I'm fully responsible for my actions


Don't wanna know, I couldn't live
I can't bear to know what you really think of me


With what you really think of me
I don't want to face the harsh reality of your thoughts about me


And I shattered the insides
I broke something on the inside


Of something I can't replace
Something that can never be fixed or replaced

One thousand sorries
No amount of apologies can change what I did


Won't make this go away
Apologies won't make this situation disappear

I caused you so much pain and suffering


I deserve the worst pain
I deserve to suffer for what I did


I know I put a scar on you
My actions hurt you and left a permanent mark

I dimmed the light of happiness in your eyes


You gave me everything and more
You loved me unconditionally and gave me your all


In return I gave you lies
But I betrayed you with my lies

I will always be concerned for your well-being


But I had to let you go
But I had to let you move on without me


You deserve a life free of me
You deserve to live a life without me in it


The hardest thing I've ever known
This is the most difficult thing I have ever experienced


I know I could never replace you
I can never replace you in my heart


Why would I want to
And I don't even want to try


You're the best I've ever seen
Because you are the best I have ever known


God I hope you find your peace
I pray that you find happiness and inner peace


I miss you more than you'd ever believe
I miss you more than you can imagine


I'm forever scarred by the love that I destroyed
I am permanently damaged by the love I ruined

@Vasilij Gončarov it's just like the song. "she gave me everything and more. and in return i gave her nothing but pain." I took advantage of her kindness and after 3years she finally had enough. this was about 24yrs ago. i havent been the same since
