LYRICS

[Verse 1]
In my arms, you were my friend,
Through every dream, you’d never bend.
Stitches worn, but you were strong,
Now you’re gone, and everything feels wrong.

[Chorus]
Oh, my broken bear, where did you go?
I never knew my heart could hurt this slow.
With every tear, you fall apart,
And now you're just pieces of my heart.

[Verse 2]
Once, you’d whisper through the night,
Kept the monsters out of sight.
Now your smile’s a memory,
And I’m left with this empty melody.

[Bridge]
If I could sew you up again,
Patch the holes and ease the pain.
But you’re more than cotton and thread,
You were the comfort in my head.

[Chorus]
Oh, my broken bear, where did you go?
I never knew my heart could hurt this slow.
With every tear, you fall apart,
And now you're just pieces of my heart.

[Outro]
Now you're just..
pieces of my heart.

This is a powerfully emotive, cinematic ballad that immediately establishes a tone of profound, heartfelt tragedy. From a production standpoint, it’s a beautifully crafted piece, perfectly suited for high-stakes dramatic storytelling. The arrangement is led by a crystal-clear, theatrical female vocal that possesses both vulnerability in the verses and immense power in the choruses. It begins with a delicate and intimate piano-and-voice setting, drawing the listener into a personal story of loss before blossoming into a sweeping, full orchestral score that feels worthy of a feature film.

The track’s primary strength lies in its masterful emotional arc. The build from quiet melancholy to a gut-wrenching, soaring chorus is executed flawlessly. This dynamic range makes it incredibly useful for a music supervisor or editor looking to score a pivotal scene. The swell at 00:25, where the orchestra enters, is a pure cinematic gut-punch, instantly elevating the emotional stakes. It’s the kind of cue that can carry the emotional weight of a film's climax, a heartbreaking farewell, or a character's moment of devastating realization.

For sync licensing, its applications are clear and potent. In film, it’s an obvious choice for dramatic narratives, particularly in fantasy, period dramas, or animated features where grand emotional gestures are key. Imagine this underscoring a tragic death scene or a montage of lost memories. For video games, it would be perfectly placed in a narrative-heavy RPG during a crucial cutscene that defines a character's journey. While its overt sadness may limit its use in mainstream advertising, it could be exceptionally effective for a poignant charity appeal, a public service announcement, or any campaign aiming to connect with the audience on a deeply emotional level. The distinct musical theatre quality also lends it to theatrical trailers or stage productions needing a powerful 'I want' song or a tragic finale. This is a top-tier cue for any project requiring a dose of elegant, powerful, and unapologetic heartbreak.
