Part Of Me
Christopher Owens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A perfect night, that ended in the morning
And then I said goodbye
We kept in touch, you came around
You stayed with me right here, in San Francisco
And then you said goodbye
And anytime I think about you now, I come undone
You were a part of me, such a great big part of me
Oh, you were a part of me, but that part of me is gone
It's difficult to keep a hold, it's difficult to be together somehow
When we're a world apart
A couple times, a couple days, a couple hundred people always in the way
And we're a world apart
I don't think there's a thing about you that I didn't love
And anytime I think about you now, I come undone
You were a part of me, such a great big part of me
Oh, you were a part of me, but that part of me is gone
The song "Part of Me" by Christopher Owens is a melancholic reflection on a past relationship and its aftermath. Owens sings of a summertime romance that ended abruptly in the morning after perfect days and nights together. However, the two kept in touch, and the partner came to San Francisco to visit Owens. Despite the good times shared, eventually, they said goodbye.
The song explores the fleeting nature of relationships, the struggle to maintain them, and the emptiness that comes with their end. Owens expresses his deep love for his former partner, acknowledging that they were a significant part of his life. The lyrics highlight how thoughts of the past relationship make him feel undone, and the person he once loved is now gone. The chorus, "You were a part of me, such a great big part of me, oh, you were a part of me, but that part of me is gone," underscores the theme of loss and its profound impact on one's identity.

The other day I was with some old friends I hadn't seen in several years. We used to be so close. Now I can't even come up with casual conversation. They used to be a part of me, but that part of me is gone.
