pieces
Asher Postman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gave you my heart shoulda kept it restrained from that
I know that I'm the only one to blame
For romanticizing or lying to myself
Wanna take it back
Delete the text
Oooo
Falling in love, is it real or just inside of my head awhile?
I guess the feeling is real
Missing what you never had, now I know
You and I were just not meant to be
At least that's what my friends are telling me
But it's hard to know, if I should let you go
I should be letting you go but
If you and I were just not meant to be
Then how'd you get this power over me?
Yeah it's hard to know, if I should let you go
Or let you tear me to pieces
I can't admit that it was all a mistake
The image of you just something that I
Painted from the colors I wanna see
You know the mind can be a dangerous place
I'm second guessing my ability
To navigate the heart, oh
Oooo
Falling in love, is it real or just inside of my head awhile?
Oooo
Falling for you wasn't real, I gotta get myself up off the ground
You and I were just not meant to be
At least that's what my friends are telling me
But it's hard to know, if I should let you go
I should be letting you go but
If you and I were just not meant to be
Then how'd you get this power over me?
Yeah it's hard to know, if I should let you go
Or let you tear me to pieces
Don't think about it
Can't sleep you got me
Needing a way to
Forget about ya
Don't think about it
Can't sleep you got me
Needing a way to
Forget about ya
If you and I were just not meant to be
I shouldn't let me let this ruin me, yeah
If you can let me go, why can't I let this go
Scared it will tear me to pieces
