[Verse 1]
I know you read my eyes
No need for subtle tears
No need for secrets anymore
I shouldn't be surprised
I knew how this would be
Since you showed up outside my door
You might not know me best
But every time I rest
I picture you inside my arms
Lying awake abreast
The thoughts that I suppressed
Know they can't do me any harm
[Chorus]
All the little pieces of myself I gave to her
I wish I saved so you could try to understand
And all the fickle people that I'd tell to make it work
They never stayed, they never tried to understand
[Verse 2]
Where your expressions be, it's hard to sympathize
But I could never walk away
When every word you speak feels like a sacrifice
I'll sit in silence, and I'll stay
[Chorus]
And all the little pieces of myself I gave to her
I wish I saved so you could try to understand
And all the fickle people that I told to make it work
They never stayed, they never tried to understand
[Bridge]
Then you found me
Love you when you wrap yourself around me
But sometimes I could feel as though I'm drowning, girl
Please don't hesitate
Then you found me
You're the only one who didn't doubt me
Anything you want, then you can shout me, girl
Please don't hesitate
[Chorus]
(And it feels like) All the little pieces of myself I gave to her
I wish I saved so you could try to understand
And all the fickle people that I told to make it work
They never stayed, they never tried to understand

Sometimes it can feel as though you’ve lost part of yourself after leaving someone you’ve spent a significant part of your life with. In “little pieces,” I address the frustration that can arise after wasting fractions of yourself on people who have turned out not to be permanent.
