Pieces of Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On a Monday, I am waiting
Tuesday, I am fading
And by Wednesday, I can't sleep
Then the phone rings, I hear you
And the darkness is a clear view
'Cause you've come to rescue me


[Pre-Chorus]
Fall, with you, I fall so fast
I can hardly catch my breath
I hope it lasts


[Chorus]
Oh, it seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels

Oh, it's as if you know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

[Verse 2]
I am moody, messy
I get restless, and it's senseless
How you never seem to care

When I'm angry, you listen
Make me happy, it's your mission
And you won't stop 'til I'm there
[Pre-Chorus]
Fall, sometimes I fall so fast
When I hit that bottom crash
You're all I have

[Chorus]
Oh, it seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels

Oh, it's as if you know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces (Pieces), pieces of me

[Bridge]
How do you know everything I'm about to say?
Am I that obvious?
And if it's written on my face
I hope it never goes away, yeah

[Middle 8]
On a Monday, I am waiting
And by Tuesday, I am fading
Into your arms, so I can breathe

[Chorus]
Oh, it seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels

Oh, it's as if you know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
Oh, I love how you can tell
Oh, I love how you can tell
[Outro]
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What have the artists said about the song?
Genius Answer

I was in the studio when that hook came up. You know, when you write a song like that you know it’s going to be a good one. Kara, John and I all looked at each other like, ‘This is the one.’"

Who is the song about?
Genius Answer

“Pieces of Me” is about your most recent love, Ryan Cabrera, right?

Yeah. Ryan’s my best friend, and before we started dating, we were best friends. When I was doing the album, I’d come home really frustrated and call Ryan, and he’d always make me feel so much better. So I wrote that song about him…a best friend that evolves into a love interest. Now we’re kind of on-off, on-off. We still go on dates and do all that stuff. We just don’t get to see each other that much. But when we’re both home, we go out all the time. And we’re actually about to go on tour together.
