Little Pieces Lyrics

Little piece of me you can't have
And I know that it's driving you mad
Little part inside you can't reach
I'm afraid that's the way it's gonna be
There's a part of you that wants to fight
But I never really had the appetite
I feel my feelings won't speak
The words will be taken upon the breeze
The wind is always blowing

Pieces falling from me
You can have them for free
I never felt so complete
Pieces falling from me

Though you try your best to never find
Little pieces that've been left behind
Last pieces of the jigsaw
All the others scattered across the floor
So you try to pick them all up
Little pieces falling into dust
Little pile of ash we don't need
Leave it to be taken upon the breeze
Wind is always blowing

Pieces falling from me
You can have them for free
I never felt so complete
Pieces falling from me

All this background noise is clouding everything
It's half the reason why I run
Time to make another plan
And never lack
There's a fine line
What you want and what you need
Standing right there in between
Never been that concrete
Never happen
la la la la
la la la la
la la la la
la la

Pieces falling from me
You can have them for free
Never felt so complete
Never be what you need
Something missing from me
And I'm never complete
Little less than complete
Pieces falling from me

The piece of me you can't have And I know it's driving you mad The part inside you can't reach I'm afraid that's the way its gonna be There's a part of you that wants to fight But I never really had the appetite I feel my feelings wont speak With words that will be taken upon the breeze The Wind is always blowing

Pieces falling from me You can have them for free I’ve never felt so complete The Pieces falling from me

Though you try your best you never find The little pieces that have been left behind Loves Last piece of the jigsaw While the others are scattered upon the floor So you try to pick them all up Little pieces falling in the dust

A little pile of ash we don't need Leave it to be taken upon the breeze Wind is always blowing

Pieces falling from me You can have them for free Ive never felt so complete The Pieces falling from me

All this background noise Its crowded Never tell Its half the reason why I left Its hard to make another plan I’ll never last

There's a fine line what you want and what you need I’m Standing right there in between Never been that concrete I’ll never lie

Pieces falling from me You can have them for free Never felt so complete Never be what you need Something missing from me That I'll never complete There the last ones complete Pieces falling from me

It’s about being judged in a new relationship by behaviour in pasts Because others won’t let it go. It’s a classic case of not listening to your partner but listening to others thoughts on the relationship. We all have relationships that fuck us up but for me I feel those are the Little pieces they can’t have because they weren’t their and it’s nit their story But forever being insecure about it or people around you over analyzing relationship a based on the partners past. For me I think he’s ready to move on let those pieces go cause he feels complete but by the end of the song the crowd has got too much for him and it’s never gonna work because she’s not trusting and listening to him but other people and trying to turn him into something he’s not. Bad relationship make us who we are we can’t change the person we love because of them. It’s sad cause by the end of the song I think she’s the last piece that’s fallen away and now he’ll never be complete.

Well, I am just shocked no one's commented on this song! It's one of the best ones of the album along with "Airstream Driver"

This might sound dense but I think this about a man in a relationship ruled by bickering and fighting and in the song he's just finally freeing himself her and it all, bit by bit?

Or it could mean there's a part of himself that he keeps from her about she does her best to figure what it is though she'll never find out.

Idk. But I LOVE this song.

I love it too.

I agree with you but I also think there is the idea that whats in the past is in the past and it might make up who you are - it is one of your pieces - but at the end of the day you dont need to carry all of that around with you - "little pieces that have been left behind". Just let them all go - "pile of ash you dont need".

And when you let them all go thats when you are most "complete" - happy with who you are as you are now.

really good song. as you go through life you meet many people and take part in many things, all of which impact and shape you as a person. when you look at your possessions it brings back all those memories as if that hockey stick, that t-shirt, that art project are all pieces of you. some of them probably got left behind as you grew up. it reminds me of a couple other songs. musically it's very similar to "the end" by the doors, and lyrically it's like "fall to pieces" by velvet revolver.

this is the song that first got me hooked on Gomez. I love it.
