Piece of My Heart
Faith Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like you were the only man
And didn't I give you everything
That a woman possibly can
Each time I tell myself I think I've had enough
Well I'm gonna show you baby that a woman can be tough
So come on, come on, come on and
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
Take another little piece of my heart
I know you will
And break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby
'Cause you know you got it, if it makes you feel good, so good
You're out on the street lookin' good
Baby deep down in your heart you know that it ain't right
No you'll never hear me cryin'
You know I cry all the time
Each time I tell myself that I can't stand the pain
You hold me in your arms and I start singin' once again
So come on, come on, come on and
Take it
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
Take another little piece of my heart I know you will
And break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby
'Cause you know you got it, if it makes you feel good, so good
Each time I tell myself that I can't stand the pain
You hold me in your arms and I start singin' once again
So come on, come on, come on and
Take it
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
Won't you just take it,
Take another little piece of my heart I know you will
And you will break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby
'Cause you know you got it if it makes you feel good, oh so good
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
Won't you just take it,
Take another little piece of my heart I know you will
And you will break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby
Take another little piece of my heart,
My heart, my heart, my heart, my heart
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
Won't you just break it
Break another little piece of my heart
My heart, my heart, you cannot break
Break another little piece of my heart
The lyrics to Faith Hill's song "Piece of My Heart" speak about a woman who has given her all to a man who doesn't deserve it. The woman sings about how she made her partner feel like he was the only man in her life, and how she gave him everything she possibly could. Despite her efforts, the man still hurts her and causes her pain, but she is determined to show him that a woman can be tough.
The woman acknowledges that he looks good on the outside, but deep down he knows that what he's doing is wrong. The woman promises that he won't hear her crying, but she cries all the time. Still, every time she tells herself that she's had enough, the man holds her in his arms and she starts singing again. She knows that he's going to take another piece of her heart and break it, but she can't help herself.
This song is an embodiment of the emotions many women feel in toxic relationships. It speaks to the fear of being hurt again, the need to be strong, and the sting of a love that isn't returned. It is a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of women in the face of pain.

Didn't I make you feel
I made you feel like you were the only man in my life
Like you were the only man
You received all of my love and affection
And didn't I give you everything
I gave you everything that a woman possibly can
That a woman possibly can
I went above and beyond to show my love for you
Each time I tell myself I think I've had enough
I start to question if I can handle the pain anymore
Well I'm gonna show you baby that a woman can be tough
I'm going to prove to you that I'm strong enough to handle anything
So come on, come on, come on and
Let's get this over with
Take it
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
Take another little piece of my heart
Take more love from me, even though it hurts
I know you will
I know you'll take more from me and hurt me again
And break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby
'Cause you know you got it, if it makes you feel good, so good
You enjoy seeing me in pain because it makes you feel powerful
You're out on the street lookin' good
I see you out and about, looking happy and carefree
Baby deep down in your heart you know that it ain't right
You know that you're hurting me, even though you act like everything is okay
No you'll never hear me cryin'
I won't show you how much this is hurting me
You know I cry all the time
I cry all the time when I'm alone because of how much it hurts
Each time I tell myself that I can't stand the pain
I try to convince myself that I can't take the pain anymore
You hold me in your arms and I start singin' once again
But when you hold me, I forget about the pain and start to feel happy again
Won't you just take it,
Please take another piece of my heart, even though it hurts
My heart, my heart, you cannot break
I may be broken, but my love for you will never die
Break another little piece of my heart
Hurt me again, take even more love from me
