Part of Me Lyrics
I'm thinkin' more than usual
Every drop I drink doesn't make it make sense, mmm
Wonderin' where I lost you
Now I can't find myself in anybody else
[Pre-Chorus]
So I try and try and try to let you go
I tried, but I know we can learn to make it work
[Chorus]
You took a part of me, the best piece
Can't bear to see another body
Where I should be, I tried to hide it
Every party I go to without you, they know
You took a part of me, you were, you were
The best part
You took a part of me, the best piece
Can't bear to see another body
Where I should be, I tried to hide it
Every party I go to without you, they know
You took a part of me, you were, you were
The best part of me
[Verse 2]
I can't just ignore this
All of these lonely nights waitin' on your reply
Won't you make your mind up? I'm goin' out of mine
You give a little and it feels like miles and miles
So I try and try and try to let you go
I try, but I know we can learn to make it work
[Chorus]
You took a part of me, the best piece
Can't bear to see another body
Where I should be, I tried to hide it
Every party I go to without you, they know
You took a part of me, you were, you were
The best part of me
[Post-Chorus]
The, the best part of me
You were the best part
[Bridge]
I try and try and try to let you go
I try, but I know we can learn to make it work
[Chorus]
You took a part of me, the best piece
Can't bear to see another body
Where I should be, I tried to hide it
Every party I go to without you, they know
You took a part of me, you were, you were
The best part of me
The best part of me
Everywhere I go, everybody knows you were
The best part of me

James:
Even though it wasn’t one of the first songs that was written for the album, it was one of the first times that we wrote something together that really helped steer us in a slightly different direction. I think this song is really important because of that, but also it captures a moment of bonding during this album cycle that I think we really needed. We rented a few Airbnbs and it was a case of turning up with all the equipment, shutting the door for a week and not having anyone else involved in the music. It was the only real song that came from that.
Brad:
I was listening to a lot of HAIM in like the six months leading up to the album, and this is just trying to rip off HAIM, basically.
