Missing Piece
M.R.A. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke up with a headache from the night before
Cause sometimes i drink
I spent the night with my head in a toliet bowl
It's where i like to think
I say cause i don't want no one to take a piece of my heart
I hate to lose all those itty - bitty pieces from my heart
La - la - la - ah - eh - oh
You ever spent all night thinking about your life
Well i suggest you try
Well it's something that you're gonna want to do with a knife
Cause i tend to cry

Say cause i don't want no one to take a piece of my heart
I hate to lose all those itty - bitty pieces from my heart
La - la - la - ah - eh - oh

You ever spent all day thinking about the night
It's something that you do
When you're thinking way too much, you're out of sight
What you gonna do

I say cause i don't want no one to take a piece of my heart
I hate to lose all those itty - bitty pieces from my heart




La - la - la - ah - eh - oh
Yeah yeah you

Overall Meaning

can try to fix me but baby, I'm not broken


The lyrics of M.R.A.'s song "Missing Piece" seem to be about a person who struggles with drinking and trying to maintain control over their emotions and personal life. The first verse suggests that the singer had a rough night, possibly due to drinking too much, and spent the night with their head in the toilet bowl trying to think. This seems to be a coping mechanism for them, a way to clear their head and process their thoughts. The chorus repeats the phrase "I don't want no one to take a piece of my heart," which could mean that the singer is guarding themselves from being hurt or taken advantage of in some way. They don't want to lose any more of themselves to someone else.


The second verse talks about spending all night thinking about one's life and suggests that it's something everyone should try, but warns that it might result in tears. It seems as though the singer is trying to get in touch with their emotions and figure out what they want from life. The third verse mentions spending all day thinking about the night before, which again suggests that the singer is struggling with something and trying to process their emotions. The song ends with the line "you can try to fix me, but baby, I'm not broken," which suggests that the singer is aware of their struggles and perhaps doesn't want others to interfere or try to change them.


Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on personal struggles and emotions, with a focus on trying to maintain control and not lose any more of oneself to others. The repetition of the phrase "itty-bitty pieces from my heart" and the use of la-la-la's throughout the song give it a somewhat playful tone, despite the serious subject matter.
