Love You to Pieces Lyrics

I had a thought I never could capture
Holding you and holding back.
But I held too tight and it broke and it shattered,
I was watching while you cracked.

The day at the lake when I made funny faces
And then we laughed so hard it hurt.
Now I'm a ghost floating and shapeless
Trying to come back down to earth.
And I'll come back down.
I'll come back down.
I'll come back down.
Eventually.

I've made mistakes and I've blown second chances
and there's some things I can't reverse.
I don't want more minute romances
I want to love you til you burst.

So ready or not I'm gonna love you to pieces
The only way that I know how.
I've gotta hunch that you're just what I needed
and I'm gonna love you til you burst.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this is missing that 'god only knows what i'd be without you' or whatever he says part. this song is beauiful though and i think it's about finding that one person you needed all along to help you be better person and to be able to love them like they deserved to be loved is your only goal when with them . you've made a few mistakes with them, and in your past, and you've hurt them but you're trying to make things right. I'm not very sure but this song hits home with me.

I think this song is about a relationship gone wrong. Perhaps he was too possessive ("But I held too tight and it broke and it shattered"), which drove her away. It's about him realizing his mistakes and wanting her back to finally give her his all without holding back.
