Pieces of my heart
dustbox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My heart was broken up.
The trigger was your words.
My memories were like stardust on that day
Nothing is here.

Pieces of my heart, looking for a place to belong.
'cause they wanna stick together.
Pieces of my heart, sleeping in someone's secrets
And now I'm still looking for you.

Time doesn't stop for me at all.
My memories are standing still.
I wanna see the sequel to that dream.
Tell me where to go.
Oh I don't wanna live a lie anymore...

Pieces of my heart, looking for a place to belong.
'cause they wanna stick together.
Pieces of my heart, sleeping in someone's secrets
And now I'm still looking for you...

(You're a fraction of my heart, Where've you gone?)





Where've you gone? I'm looking for you every single day...
(I'm looking for you every single day...)
