Pieces Lyrics

I've never really fallen apart

I've never really fallen to pieces

Till I found out

The time you left a hole in my heart

And I never really clotted the bleeding

Did you mean it?

Shattered for the first time

I'm picking me up

But good god it takes so long

I'm trying not to take it to heart

I'm trying not to feel defeated

I was 21

And gasping for your air

Cause I couldn't help myself

Bide your time by their side

I'm biting my tongue

But goddamn it hurts so

Save your breath for them

I never wanna breathe again

Cause the words that you said roll around in my head

Around my throat, now they're choking me out

You gave your best to them

The piece you should've never left

You traded for your life

Now you're red-eyed and tongue-tied

Save your breath for them

I never wanna breathe again

Cause the words that you said roll around in my head

Around my throat, now they're choking me out

Save your breath for them, take mine instead

Cause the words that you said roll around in my head

Around my throat, now they're choking me out

You gave your best to them

The piece you should've never left

You traded for your life

Red-eyed and tongue-tied

I never wanna breathe again

Save your breath for them, take mine instead
