Ground Zero
I used up all my love to build you up
Looking in the mirror who is this woman staring back at me
Wish she'd speak a little clearer
Speak up for yourself so I can hear ya
You say you've lost your way
You've strayed far from home
Into a world full of pleasures unknown
Began building treasures for others, abandoned your own
I was so invested in you
I managed to forget about me
Used all my lovin' to build you up
Demolished myself completely
And now I'm gathering the pieces
I'll always believe in salvaging self
If for no other reason than seeing
The glimmer of hope even at ground zero
Love begins today
Love yourself today
Love begins today
I used up all my love to build you up
It's never too late
Staring at my pictures
Remembering me
Drawing from my strength
Gaining perspective and clarity
I know I've lost my way
But I'll make it back in one piece
Of all these dilapidated buildings
Don't you go naming one after me
I know I gave me all to you but I'll be damned if I'm through
And now that all the dust has settled
It's time to focus on putting me back together
And now I'm gathering the pieces
I'll always believe in salvaging self
If for no other reason than seeing
The glimmer of hope even at ground zero
Pick up your heart, mend it at the same time
Because it's never too late to pick up the pieces
Love begins today
Love yourself today
Love begins today
I used up all my love to build you up
It's never too late
No matter how hard you fall always pick yourself up and dust yourself off
No matter many pieces you shatter into love will mend you back together like new
With every new start put yourself first, protect your heart
But don't close yourself off
Because there's a blessing of growth waiting at ground zero
The ground is where flowers grow
Opportunity to sow
Perfect conditions to show
You're much stronger than you've known
Because there's a blessing of growth waiting at ground zero
Looking in the mirror who is this woman staring back at me
Wish she'd speak a little clearer
Speak up for yourself so I can hear ya
You say you've lost your way
You've strayed far from home
Into a world full of pleasures unknown
Began building treasures for others, abandoned your own
I was so invested in you
I managed to forget about me
Used all my lovin' to build you up
Demolished myself completely
And now I'm gathering the pieces
I'll always believe in salvaging self
If for no other reason than seeing
The glimmer of hope even at ground zero
Love begins today
Love yourself today
Love begins today
I used up all my love to build you up
It's never too late
Staring at my pictures
Remembering me
Drawing from my strength
Gaining perspective and clarity
I know I've lost my way
But I'll make it back in one piece
Of all these dilapidated buildings
Don't you go naming one after me
I know I gave me all to you but I'll be damned if I'm through
And now that all the dust has settled
It's time to focus on putting me back together
And now I'm gathering the pieces
I'll always believe in salvaging self
If for no other reason than seeing
The glimmer of hope even at ground zero
Pick up your heart, mend it at the same time
Because it's never too late to pick up the pieces
Love begins today
Love yourself today
Love begins today
I used up all my love to build you up
It's never too late
No matter how hard you fall always pick yourself up and dust yourself off
No matter many pieces you shatter into love will mend you back together like new
With every new start put yourself first, protect your heart
But don't close yourself off
Because there's a blessing of growth waiting at ground zero
The ground is where flowers grow
Opportunity to sow
Perfect conditions to show
You're much stronger than you've known
Because there's a blessing of growth waiting at ground zero
