In Pieces Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna be where you are
Feel us lyin' by outside while you count the stars
I'm like a child in this place
Watch me turn in circles like a tiger in a cage

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, I know it's complicated
Ooh, but you don't have to say a single word

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna go on
Oh, livin' a life that you've been missin'
And I don't want nobody else
To hold me when I'm in pieces

[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah

[Verse 2]
I wanna be where you are
I want you to need me like the fire needs the spark
I need to see it in your eyes
To lose myself completely like a full moon in the tide

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, I know it's complicated
Ooh, but you don't have to say a single word

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna go on
Oh, livin' a life that you've been missin' (Ah)
And I don't want nobody else
To hold me when I'm in pieces

[Bridge]
It's like I'm barely breathin' (Ah, ah, ah)
Strung out on the feelin' that I know I can't explain (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
But you've got to believe it (Ah)
I would die to keep you in my veins
I wanna be where you are
Feel us lyin' by outside while you count the stars

[Chorus]
Ooh, 'cause I don't wanna go on
Oh, livin' a life that you've been missin'
And I don't want nobody else
To hold me when I'm in pieces

[Outro]
Hold me when
Hold me when I'm in pieces

About

Serving as both the album’s closing and title track, “In Pieces” is a piano ballad showing Chlöe in a vulnerable and emotional spot, performing a love letter to those who helped her get back up from a dark place.

She would speak about one of those people, her godmother Shermay Joh, in an interview with People magazine:

In the darkest times of my life, she lifted me up. I physically wouldn’t be here without her, and I think people can read between the lines with that. We need at least one person to help us carry the weight because it does get quite heavy sometimes.

The song was issued just before the album’s release as its fourth single.
