Pieces
Chase & Status [Feat. Plan B] Lyrics

I can’t save you
I am unable to save you from whatever troubles you may be facing

But I wish that I could
Despite my inability to save you, I desire to do so

Like a man really should
I feel a sense of obligation to protect and save those who are dear to me, as is expected of a man

Sustain you
I want to provide support and comfort to help you endure your struggles

You’ll be misunderstood
People may not comprehend what you are going through or the challenges you may be facing

Won’t fit in but different is good
You may not conform to societal norms, but that is not necessarily a negative thing and can be celebrated

Yeah I gotta be grateful
Despite the hardships, I must express gratitude for the good things in life

I been up all night
I have been unable to sleep due to worrying about your well-being

Scrolling through videos of you
I have been watching videos of you to remember and cherish the good times we have shared

It is so difficult to view
It is painful to watch these videos knowing that you may be struggling

No telling what it really did to you
I cannot fully comprehend the impact of the hardships you may have faced

And I lost the fight
I have been unable to overcome the challenges you may be facing

The tears won the years run
I have been overcome with emotion and unable to control my tears

I’m right here son I fear some
Despite my fears and concerns, I will always be here for you

Will not comprehend
Others may not be able to understand the challenges you are facing

What it’s like to be you they see you
Others may be able to see you, but they may not fully understand your experiences and struggles

But you’re so lost in yourself you cannot let them in
You may be so consumed by your own struggles that you are unable to let others in or seek their help

Faded but I didn’t see it
I may not have recognized the signs of your struggles or deterioration

Your name I would say it repeat it
I cherish your name and hold it dear to my heart

Like show me your eyes and I hope you respond
I want to connect with you and hope to see a response

In due time or look up in agreement
I am patient and hopeful that you will eventually respond or agree with me

But being the youngest
As the youngest, you may have received less attention or support than others in the family

Sometimes your sisters took most the attention
Your siblings may have required more attention or support due to their own struggles

What if I never stopped holding you close in my arms
I wonder if I could have prevented your struggles if I had stayed close and provided more support

Would you not of gone ghost I’m conflicted
I am conflicted and wonder if my actions could have prevented you from withdrawing or disappearing

I grieve what I don’t comprehend
I feel sadness for what I cannot fully understand or comprehend

Miss the things that could’ve been
I regret the missed opportunities or potential for things to have been different

Believing that when it’s the end
I have faith that, in the end, everything will be alright

Your mind will be sound and then fully restored
I hope that your mind will be healthy and restored to its full capacity

And we’ll feel with perfection amen
When everything is restored, we will experience a sense of perfection and say 'amen'

And I don’t want to see no symptoms
I do not want to see any signs of your struggles or hardships

I don’t want to see no label
I do not want you to be labeled or defined by your struggles or hardships

I just want to see my son
All I want is to see my child and share in their life

I don’t want to see disabled
I do not want to see limitations or barriers placed on my child

I don’t even know how to pray
I am unsure of how to express my hopes and desires to a higher power

If I ask God to fix you
If I pray for your healing and restoration

What does that really say
What does that truly mean about my perception of you?

That I think that you’re broken
Does that mean that I believe something is inherently wrong with you?

I think you’re a problem
Does that mean that I view your struggles as a burden or issue?

But no that is never the case
In reality, that is not how I truly perceive you

Sometimes I’m stopping mid sentence convicted
At times, I pause in my speech due to feeling guilty about my thoughts or beliefs

To say God I give you the praise
I express gratitude and praise to a higher power for all that I have

Fix the way I see
I ask for help in changing my perspective and how I view the world

Fix the way I think
I ask for help in changing my thoughts and beliefs

He should play with me
I hope that my child will still engage with me and share in playful activities

Everything in me
All of my being and essence

Let the pain decrease
I pray for relief from the emotional pain I am experiencing

Let me take my seat
I am willing to step back and let someone else take charge in helping my child

And learn from him
I am willing to learn from my child and their experiences

Instead of thinking I should turn him into
Rather than trying to change my child into someone else

A child like the rest now I am a mess
I recognize that every child is unique and I am struggling with this realization

Down into a depth further in
I am diving deeper into my emotional struggles and trying to work through them

Cus’ this is where I love with no restraint
This is where I can express my love for my child without any limitations or restrictions

This is where I serve with no condition or complaint
This is where I can serve my child without any expectations or complaints

This is where I’m not obsessed with typical responses
This is where I do not feel pressured to respond in a typical or expected way

You’re more than good the way you are
My child is already great just the way they are

My miracle my promise
I view my child as a miracle and promise to always be there for them
