Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time isn't telling me a thing its playing with my heart I'm tearing at the seams you on the other hand choosing what to understand is old


CHORUS:im sure you know how we always find ourselves in the deepest corner of the darkest hour we can't get much louder than this we always lose our hearts in the strangest places picking up the pieces we break I just won't tell you about it I just won't tell you about it ijust won't tell you about it I just won't tell you about

love isn't costing me a thing you're hearing what you want you want me so it seems time is the risk we take holding on to one mistake let go(let go) CHORUS: I JUST won't TELL YOU ABOUT IT (7 TIMES)

OH BREAK IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT BOY SAY IT LIKE YOU'VE SAID IT BEFORE YOU'RE JUST IN TIME TO MAKE A MISTAKE HAD ALL THE TIME I CAN TAKE





CHORUS I JUST won't TELL YOU ABOUT IT (4 TIMES )

Overall Meaning

The song "Pieces" by Bridges is an emotional love ballad that explores the tumultuous and unpredictable nature of a romantic relationship. The opening lines suggest that the singer is struggling with the passage of time and the uncertainty that it brings. They feel as though they are being played with by time and are unable to control the way their heart is being tugged at. They also mention feeling as though they are tearing at the seams.


The next lines are directed toward their partner who is choosing what to understand, suggesting a miscommunication or lack of understanding within the relationship. They say that this is an old behavior, implying that it has been a pattern in their relationship. The chorus speaks to the idea that the couple always finds themselves in the darkest hour, losing their hearts in strange places and breaking pieces that they must later pick up. The repetition of "I just won't tell you about it" implies a desire for secrecy or an inability to express their emotions fully to their partner.


The bridge seems to be a plea for the partner to express themselves fully and honestly. The singer urges them to break their silence and say what they really mean, emphasizing that there is limited time left for them to make mistakes. The final chorus repeats the earlier lyrics and contains a sense of finality as the singer states that they will not share their feelings any further.


Line by Line Meaning

Time isn't telling me a thing its playing with my heart
The passing of time is not providing me any information or clarity; it's only causing turmoil in my emotions.


I'm tearing at the seams you on the other hand choosing what to understand is old
I am struggling and falling apart, while you are picking and choosing what to acknowledge, and it's becoming tiresome.


Chorus: Im sure you know how we always find ourselves in the deepest corner of the darkest hour
You are probably familiar with the feeling of being lost and hopeless in the worst moments of life.


we can't get much louder than this we always lose our hearts in the strangest places picking up the pieces we break
We are at the peak of our emotional expression; we tend to fall in love with people or situations that might not make sense, and after those experiences, we are left picking up the broken pieces.


I just won't tell you about it I just won't tell you about it I just won't tell you about it I just won't tell you about
I am not willing to share my struggles or experiences with you.


Love isn't costing me a thing you're hearing what you want you want me so it seems time is the risk we take holding on to one mistake let go(let go)
I am not sacrificing anything for love; you are only hearing what you want to hear, and it appears that you want me. However, holding onto love can be risky, especially when it's the wrong choice; it's time to let go.


Oh break it like you mean it, boy. Say it like you've said it before. You're just in time to make a mistake. Had all the time I can take.
Break things with conviction and purpose; don't hold back. Speak with the same passionately honest emotion you have expressed previously. You are running out of time to make a choice, and I am running out of patience.


Chorus: I just won't tell you about it (4 times)
I am still unwilling to disclose my struggles or experiences.

This is one of the many songs on MTVU that helped me through grieving my fathers passing back in '08. I was suffering from insomnia, but music healed me.

My condolences.

Brings me back to 2008. I was 16 and for the life of me I can't remember how I first discovered this song. I ended up downloading it and listening to it all day while walking through the woods with some neighborhood friends. I sure wish I had known how beautiful those moments were at the time.
