i disagree with eminuss take on it, i think its the completely opposite way around. when you hear people saying they were in pieces on the floor that usually means they were having a breakdown and crying their eyes out so, "As piece by piece I can pick you up off of my floor", i think what its saying is even when your in pieces balling your eyes out and having a mental breakdown ill be there to pick you up and put a smile back on your face. i think it fits this love song better, but thats just my opinion.
