PIECES
About the song
The song “PIECES” is about setting emotional boundaries in a relationship. It focuses on someone who wants everything all at once, while the singer knows they can only give so much. The main theme is protecting yourself while still wanting to love.
In the verses, the singer explains how the other person gets a taste of her emotions and quickly wants more. She feels drained, like she’s giving too much too fast. The image of wanting the whole pie but only getting one slice shows how unbalanced the relationship feels. She’s trying to slow things down, even if it causes tension.
The chorus makes it clear that she won’t give herself away completely. She admits she’s broken and complicated, and that love comes in pieces, not all at once. The song is honest and strong, showing that giving parts of yourself is okay, and that real connection takes time.
Lyrics
You want a dose of that emotion
Say that’s the only thing you need
I let you taste it for a moment
And now you want some more of me
You gotta spread that out
As the lights go down
Takin’ everything I’m givin’
That’s enough right now
You want all my love
Want it all at once
But is it too much?
I’m gonna make you cry now, baby
I’m gonna make you die
You want the whole damn pie, now baby
But you’ve only had one slice
I only give you pieces
Pieces
Pieces of me
I know I can be a handful
I go dancin’ in the dark
I wanna see what you can handle
When you touch my broken heart
You want all my love
Want it all at once
But is it too much?
I’m gonna make you cry now, baby
I’m gonna make you die
You want the whole damn pie, now baby
But you’ve only had one slice
I only give you pieces
Pieces
Pieces of me
Of me
Give my love until nothing’s left
The night is young and I ain’t done yet
I’m gonna make you cry now, baby
I’m gonna make you die
You want the whole damn pie, now baby
But you’ve only had one slice
I only give you pieces
Pieces
Pieces of me
