“Shards of Yesterday”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Walking down the [D] memory lane, [Em] clutching shards of [C] yesterday
[G] Smoky dreams and [D] broken hearts, [Em] where did we lose [C] our way?
[G] A carousel of [D] time unwinds, [Em] painting pictures [C] grey
[G] Truthful Glove, [D] we wear the scars, [Em] how did we lose [C] our way?
(Chorus)
[C] In the mirrors of [G] time, we [D] see,
[Em] Shadows of who we [C] used to be
[G] But we hold on, oh [D] Truthful Glove,
[Em] To the dreams that [C] make us free
(Verse 2)
[G] Fragments of the [D] past we hold, [Em] each one tells a [C] tale
[G] Of love and loss, [D] joy and pain, [Em] through every storm [C] we sail
[G] Truthful Glove, [D] we wear these tales, [Em] through every high and [C] low
[G] Holding on to [D] hope, in the [Em] face of the unknown [C]
(Chorus)
[C] In the mirrors of [G] time, we [D] see,
[Em] Shadows of who we [C] used to be
[G] But we hold on, oh [D] Truthful Glove,
[Em] To the dreams that [C] make us free
(Outro)
[G] So here’s to the [D] Truthful Glove, [Em] that binds us [C] all
[G] Through life’s highs and [D] lows, we [Em] continue to [C] stand tall

“I have been a fan of Truthful Glove since their debut album. Their music speaks to me on a deep level; it’s raw, honest, and so beautifully crafted. Each song tells a story that somehow resonates with my own experiences. There’s a sense of camaraderie in their music that’s comforting – it’s like they’re saying, ‘we’ve been there too, and we’re right here with you’. They’re not just a band to me, they’re like friends expressing their feelings through music. This might sound crazy, but their songs have helped me through some really tough times. Truthful Glove isn’t just my favorite band; they’re a part of my life.”
