Pieces Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm disconnected
Feelin' out of place
Don't know how this shit got so strange
Open eyes, but can't see you
Something for the pain
Anything to erase me
Drive me crazy
Drive me crazy
Ooh, ooh-hoo, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Wasn't it you, who told me that grief was a teacher
And everything you ever loved would leave you
Leave you alone?
And the only thing you can do is pick up the pieces
Let your broken heart learn

[Chorus]
Learn to live
In pieces
Oh, we learn to live
In pieces
Hey, we learn to live

[Verse 2]
Oh, I've been reckless
Puttin' all my faith in a world that can't be changed
Colorblind to the black and blue
Beggin' you to stay even though I know it'll break me
You're drivin' me crazy, ooh, ooh-ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
Wasn't it you, who told me that grief was a teacher
And everything you ever loved would leave you
Leave you alone?
And the only thing you can do is pick up the pieces
Let your broken heart learn

[Chorus]
Learn to live
In pieces
Yeah, we learn to live
In pieces
In pieces
We can learn to love again
In pieces
We can learn to love again

[Bridge]
'Cause we know that broken hearts stay broke
They never really mend
But in pieces, they can learn to love again
No, they never really mend
But in pieces, we can learn to love again

[Chorus]
In pieces
We can learn to love again
In pieces
We can learn to love again

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
