Bits and Pieces
Nelson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you know that your falling tears
Are just a thin disguise?
Baby, I'm on to you,
Always pleading your innocence with those eyes.
Hanging by a thread
For your love to come around,
But now the ties are broken;
Can't you see? My heart's in bits and pieces.
It comes as no surprise, after all your lies.
I was a fool to believe in those empty tears you cried.
How long was it going on?
Could it be you were deceiving me right from the start?
I'll never forget the
Day I came back just to find you in someone
Else's arms.
I let the passion blind me when the truth was plain to see.
You made the chains that bind me, and I just can't break free.
Can't you see? My heart's in bits and pieces.
It comes as no surprise, after all your lies.
I was a fool to believe in those empty tears you cried.
Oh, can't you see our love's in bits and pieces?
A nightmare's coming true all because of you.
Now that the promise is broken there's nothing left to lose.
Little bits and pieces.
After all your lies.
I was a fool to believe you.
My heart's in bits and pieces.
Hanging by a thread for your love to come around,
But now the ties are broken.
I'm crashing to the ground.
Can't you see? My heart's in bits and pieces.
It comes as no surprise, after all your lies.
I was a fool to believe in those empty tears you cried.
Can't you see? My heart's in bits and pieces.
It comes as no surprise, after all your lies.
I was a fool to believe in those empty tears you cried.
"Bits and Pieces" is a song by Nelson, released in 1990. The lyrics talk about a relationship that has ended, and the singer is devastated by the lies his partner told him. The opening line of the song, "What are you crying for? Don't you know that your falling tears are just a thin disguise?" suggests that the singer's partner has been dishonest throughout their relationship, and that the singer has only recently realized this. The chorus repeats the phrase "Can't you see? My heart's in bits and pieces," conveying the singer's deep emotional pain.
The verse "Hanging by a thread for your love to come around, but now the ties are broken, I'm crashing to the ground" suggests that the singer had been waiting for his partner to reciprocate his love, but when he realized that she was lying to him, he "crashed" emotionally. The line "I let the passion blind me when the truth was plain to see" indicates that the singer ignored many signs that his partner was not honest with him, and he allowed his feelings to dictate his actions.
The song ends with the phrase "Can't you see our love's in bits and pieces? A nightmare's coming true, all because of you. Now that the promise is broken, there's nothing left to lose." Here the singer is acknowledging that his relationship has ended, and he feels that his partner is solely responsible for the pain he is feeling. The song is a cautionary tale about the importance of honesty and the consequences of deception in a relationship.
