ILLENIUM

Fragments

From Fallen Embers2021

Written by Alejandra Alberti, Gino The Ghost, ILLENIUM

Lyrics

Fragments

[Intro]

(Ah-ah-ah-ah)

(Ah-ah-ah-ah)

[Chorus]

I woulda waited for you there

I already waited for forever

Carried the weight of all your bad habits

You can pretend that you don't care

I know you hate the way it happened

Whatever's left of what we had is scattered

[Drop]

In fragments

In fragments

In fragments

In fragments

[Verse 1]

Your photographs aren't up on my wall anymore

Even though they're gone, I still remember it all

I can't help myself, I rewind and play it all out

I can't recall what my life was like bеfore it

[Pre-Chorus]

Goin' back and forth with me

Those words haunting mе

Shoulda never started a war

You act accordingly

Made sure you left with it all

[Chorus]

I woulda waited for you there

I already waited for forever

Carried the weight of all your bad habits

You can pretend that you don't care

I know you hate the way it happened

Whatever's left of what we had is scattered

[Drop]

In fragments

In fragments

[Verse 2]

Our world just stopped before we could figure it out

Left it all undone and now I'm wondering how

I'm ignorin' what's in my head

You got the best of me in the end

Now I'm wishin' we'd never met

But I would do it over again

[Pre-Chorus]

Goin' back and forth with me

Those words haunting me

Shoulda never started a war

You act accordingly

Made sure you left with it all

[Chorus]

I woulda waited for you there

I already waited for forever

Carried the weight of all your bad habits

You can pretend that you don't care

I know you hate the way it happened

Whatever's left of what we had is scattered
