Pieces Of Me
Ashlee Simpsons Lyrics

On a Monday, I am waiting
At the start of the week, I am waiting for something to happen.

Tuesday, I am fading
As the week progresses, I lose energy and become weaker.

And by Wednesday, I can't sleep
By mid-week, I am unable to get a good night's sleep.

Then the phone rings, I hear you
Suddenly, I hear from you and my mood changes instantly.

In the darkness is a clear view
Despite feeling lost in dark times, your presence brings clarity to the situation.

'Cause you've come to rescue me
You are the one that comes to save me from myself and my struggles.

Fall, with you I fall so fast
When I am with you, I fall in love quickly and deeply.

I can hardly catch my breath, I hope it lasts
Being with you takes my breath away and I hope this feeling never ends.

Oh, it seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
With you, I feel like I can finally trust someone and be vulnerable.

I like the way that feels
This feeling of security and comfort is new for me and I enjoy it.

Oh, it's as if you know me better than I ever knew myself
You understand me on a deeper level than I could have ever imagined.

I love how you can tell
I appreciate your ability to read me and help me when I can't help myself.

All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
You see and accept all of the different parts of me, even the messy ones.

I am moody, messy
I have a lot of different emotions and am not always put together very well.

I get restless, and it's senseless
I can become anxious and unsettled without any real reason.

And you never seem to care
But you still love and support me, even when I’m not my best self.

When I'm angry, you listen
You show me that I can share my feelings with you, even the difficult ones.

And me happy is a mission
Your goal is to make me happy, which means a lot to me and is not something I’m used to.

And you won't stop 'til I'm there
You’ll do whatever it takes to help me reach my goals, even if it’s challenging.

Fall, sometimes I fall so fast
Occasionally, my love for you is so intense that it takes me by surprise.

When I hit that bottom, crash, you're all I have
In moments of despair, you are the one who is always there for me and my rock.

How do you know everything I'm about to say?
I’m amazed by how well you understand me and my thoughts.

Am I that obvious?
Is it really that easy for you to read me?

And if it's written on my face I hope it never goes away, yeah
I hope that our connection and your ability to read me never goes away.

And by Tuesday I am fading into your arms, so I can breathe
I find solace in your embrace and am able to take a breath again when I’m with you.
