The Missing Piece
paul rey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been a puzzle
No one could understand
But that ain't a struggle
Now my heart is in your hands

I'm done with being the strongest
Baby it's the smallest
Things you do that make that picture so big
I fall for you the hardest
'Cause you are the perfect fit

So stay with me
And we'll take the road to where it leads
Ain't no guarantees but if
I'm here with you and if you're here with me
Then I got all I need
I'll break and bleed
Yeah, this life can put me on my knees
that don't matter to me 'cause if
I'm here with you and if you're here with me
Then I got, oh, I got
The missing piece

Oh-oh, oh-oh

I've been a jigsaw
No one could take me down
But babe, you're a big shot
Got me all figured out

But I'm done with being the strongest
Baby it's the smallest
Things you do that make that picture so big
I fall for you the hardest
'Cause you are the perfect fit

So stay with me
And we'll take the road to where it leads
Ain't no guarantees but if
I'm here with you and if you're here with me
Then I got all I need
I'll break and bleed
Yeah, this life can put me on my knees
But that don't matter to me 'cause if
I'm here with you and if you're here with me
Then I got, oh, I got
The missing piece

Oh-oh, oh-oh
The missing piece
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Yeah, if I'm here with you and if you're here with me
Then I got, oh, I got
The missing piece

You lift me up, up off the ground
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
My heart was lost, but now it's found
No, I won't let you down

So stay with me
And we'll take the road to where it leads
Ain't no guarantees but if
I'm here with you and if you're here with me
Then I got, oh, I got
The missing piece
