Piece of Me

Verse 1]

I still hear your laugh in quiet rooms

Like it never packed its bags and left

You’re a ghost that don’t slam doors behind

Just lingers in my chest

I love your blue eyes, the way you would argue me

Like every fight was just another way to lean

And somehow we always bent, never broke completely

Even all our friends could see

⸻

We were messy, loud, and honest

Like we didn’t know how not to be

And I swore in all that chaos

You were made to fit with me

⸻

To the man who it truly is about—

I’m so happy you found your missing piece now

I see you smiling in a life I don’t fit in

And I swear I mean it… but I’m breaking underneath it

‘Cause you walked away whole, didn’t even see

You took something quiet and permanent from me

I hope she loves you like I couldn’t be

But why did you have to take a piece of me?

⸻

I don’t check your name like I used to

Don’t chase shadows down old streets

But every now and then I hear your song

And it drags me back to me

Yet I wasn’t the missing piece

Not the ending you were chasing

Just a chapter you outgrew

While I was still believing

⸻

I don’t want you back, don’t twist it

I just want back who I was

Before loving you felt like

Learning how to lose someone

⸻

To the man who it truly is about—

I’m so happy you found your missing piece now

I see you laughing in a life I don’t belong

And I clap from the sidelines, but it feels so wrong

‘Cause you walked away fine, didn’t even see

You took something quiet and permanent from me

I hope she gives you everything you need

But why did you have to take a piece of me?

⸻

And don’t worry Dice, this isn’t about you,

And if you thought it was… that’s embarrassing for you.

To the one who lied about loving someone—

Just know this song isn’t about you…

Or the fourteen-year-old you cheated on me with.

You don’t get a verse, you don’t get a melody

Just a footnote in a story you tried to rewrite of me

⸻

To the man who it truly is about—

I’m so glad you found your way out

And I hope she’s everything I couldn’t be

Everything you needed… everything but me

But somewhere in your perfect ending scene

There’s a version of me you’ll never see

Still standing where you left me incomplete—

Wondering why you took a piece of me

⸻

Yeah…

This one was never about them.

It was always about you…

And what I lost trying to love you.
