Serving as both the album’s closing and title track, “In Pieces” is a piano ballad showing Chlöe in a vulnerable and emotional spot, performing a love letter to those who helped her get back up from a dark place.
She would speak about one of those people, her godmother Shermay Joh, in an interview...
[Verse 1]
I wanna be where you are
Feel us lyin' by outside while you count the stars
I'm like a child in this place
Watch me turn in circles like a tiger in a cage
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, I know it's complicated
Ooh, but you don't have to say a single word
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna go on
Oh, livin' a life that you've been missin'
And I don't want nobody else
To hold me when I'm in pieces
[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah
[Verse 2]
I wanna be where you are
I want you to need me like the fire needs the spark
I need to see it in your eyes
To lose myself completely like a full moon in the tide
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, I know it's complicated
Ooh, but you don't have to say a single word
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna go on
Oh, livin' a life that you've been missin' (Ah)
And I don't want nobody else
To hold me when I'm in pieces
[Bridge]
It's like I'm barely breathin' (Ah, ah, ah)
Strung out on the feelin' that I know I can't explain (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
But you've got to believe it (Ah)
I would die to keep you in my veins
I wanna be where you are
Feel us lyin' by outside while you count the stars
[Chorus]
Ooh, 'cause I don't wanna go on
Oh, livin' a life that you've been missin'
And I don't want nobody else
To hold me when I'm in pieces
[Outro]
Hold me when
Hold me when I'm in pieces
