Pieces

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

From the moment that we met
My world was turned around
Upside down
To some degree I still regret

My memory
For keeping you around
Girl, I thought that you were mine
But my broken heart's been

Shattered
One too many times

And I don't wanna see you anymore
I'm just not that strong
I love it when you're here
But I'm better when you're gone

I'm certain that I've given
And, oh, how you can take
There's no use in you lookin'
There's nothin' left for you to break

Baby, please release me
Let my heart rest in pieces, in pieces

Someone let you down again
So you turn to me
Your convenient friend
Oh, but I know what you're doin'

And what you hope to find
I've seen it a thousand times
All the fire we had before
Are now just bitter ashes
Left scattered on the floor

And I don't wanna see you anymore
I'm just not that strong
I love it when you're here
But I'm better when you're gone

I'm certain that I've given
And, oh, how you can take
There's no use in you lookin'
There's nothin' left for you to break

Baby, please release me
Let my heart rest in pieces, yeah

I don't wanna see you anymore
I'm just not that strong
I love it when you're here, baby
But I'm better when you're gone

I'm certain that I've given
And, oh, how you can take
There's no use in you lookin'
There's nothin' left for you to break

Baby, please release me
We both know that you don't need me (You don't need me)




Let my heart rest in pieces, in pieces
Let it rest

Overall Meaning

The Rascal Flatts's song Pieces is a powerful ballad about a toxic relationship that has left the singer's heart in pieces. The song starts by talking about how the moment they met, the singer's world was turned upside down. The lyrics reflect a feeling of regret for not being able to let go of the person despite the pain they cause. The singer knows that this person is bad for them, but every time they try to leave or let go, they find themselves drawn back in.


The chorus of the song conveys the message of the singer's need for release from the relationship. They no longer want to see the person because they know that they are not strong enough to resist them. The singer acknowledges that they love having the person around but realizes that they are better off without them. The person has taken everything from the singer, and there's nothing left to break.


The second verse talks about how the person turns to the singer whenever they've been let down by someone else, and they know exactly how to manipulate the situation. But the singer has seen it all before, and at this point, there's nothing left between them. The intense emotions conveyed through the lyrics, coupled with the powerful melody and harmonies, make Pieces a memorable and emotional ballad.

Upside down
In a way that was confusing or difficult to deal with

To a certain extent I regret it


My memory
The part of my brain that remembers things


For keeping you around
For not forgetting about you


Girl, I thought that you were mine
I believed that you were my girlfriend

But my heart has been

Broken into many pieces


One too many times
More than once

All the passion we had in the past


Are now just bitter ashes
Are now just unpleasant memories


Left scattered on the floor
Left in disarray and chaos


We both know that you don't need me (You don't need me)
We both understand that you don't depend on me


Let my heart rest in pieces, in pieces
Let my broken heart rest in pieces


Let it rest
Allow it to be at peace

[Intro]
Wasn't ready for [?]
I been waiting for a call
Just to be close to you
(B Squared Beats)
Do you know what it's like to lose somebody like you?
I hear you where the wind blows
It follows me wherever I go
Do you know what it's like to lose somebody like you?
Shit don't feel right wrapped in my rage, oh
Uh, uh (Will a Fool)
[Verse]
You know my life just like a book how I'm turning the page
Reading our chapter hoping that I end in a change
You know this shit don't feel right wrapped in my rage
Oh yeah
You know I got you on my mind forever so often
Looking back at it now I can see how we lost it
In the coupe behind tint on the way from Nеw Orleans
You know I miss you on my side but I'm fucking with shawty
But she gon' hatе me when she find I'm the perfect pretender
I tried to find another bitch, I just look for you in her
In my hotel way in Houston, my happiness gone
Don't want no company right now, just leave me alone
I heard you found you a new friend
Said they saw you in a Benz
All the bitches out your city at my neck tryna get in
I feel like it ain't fair you call it quits and get the Lyft
Was too late in the game for me to find true love again

[Chorus]
I'm so gone before you go
Think twice before leaving (Leaving)
'Cause hearts do not break even (Even)
Why am I still bleeding?
Gave you your heart back, gave me mine back in pieces
In pieces, in pieces, in pieces, yeah, look
I'm so gone before you go
Think twice before leaving
Hearts do not break even
Why am I still bleeding?
Gave you your heart back, gave me my heart back in pieces, in pieces
Pieces, woah
No, no, no, no, no, woah
