Masterpiece In Disguise

[Intro]
Scattered on the floor
Tiny colors, torn edges
Thought it was a picture of the world
Never knew it was a portrait of you

[Verse 1]
Had a box full of pieces
Corners, colors, shapes I saved
Every heartbreak, every “maybe”
Every time I walked away
Kept a notebook of questions
Why this storm, why that scar
Thought the pattern was chaos
Just a sky without a star
Then that evening hit different
Silence loud, but my mind clear
Pulled a piece from my pocket
Felt your voice in my ear
You said, “Turn it just a little
Look again at what you’ve been through”
Edges lined up, frame in focus
All this mess been pointing to you

[Chorus]
Puzzle on the table, I was lost in the frame
Thought I’d never see the picture, just the weight of the game
Then it all clicked, every cut, every bruise, every truth
Whole world in a thousand pieces
But the masterpiece was you
Yeah, the masterpiece was you

[Verse 2]
[low vocal register] Bagpipes wail like an old war cry
Violin draws lines in the sky
Guitar growls under my feet
Like thunder learning to fly
Every piece that I hated
Every moment I called waste
Turns out it was your outline
Drawn slow, traced in grace
That summer I felt hollow
That winter I froze inside
All those nights I was praying
Thought the answer passed me by
But you were there in the corners
In the small, unseen hues
In the cut that didn’t make sense
Till it locked onto you

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[guitar solo with bagpipe harmonies]
Fingertips on cardboard edges
Heart catching on each new fit
Every flaw a perfect angle
Every crack a place you sit
I was searching for a landscape
Some big legend to live up to
But the canvas in my shaking hands
Slowly turned and became you

[Chorus]

[Outro]
[whispered vocals] Piece by piece
Every shade, every bruise
Thought I was chasing a picture
I was just finding you
[bagpipes rise, violin echoes, guitar sustains]
