Pieces
Shattered Trust: Unveiling Betrayal in Cali Morris' 'Pieces'
Lyrics
I can play pretend that there's a way that I forgive you
I can pretend that I have forgiven you in a hypothetical way.
Tell myself stories or turned a blind eye to the truth
Telling myself stories or ignoring the truth deliberately.
I fought with my friends when they tell me they believe
Fighting with friends who express belief in your actions.
All those times I tried called you, you weren't there she was in your bed
Attempts to contact you, finding out about another person in your bed.
But your lips they taste like candy guilt… and I see that
Your kisses carry guilt, and I recognize it.
Boy, your eyes betray the lies we built
Your eyes reveal the lies we've constructed.
Were you ever gonna tell me about her?
Questioning if you would ever inform me about her.
It wasn't just "thing" and now it's over
It wasn't just a casual encounter, and it's now ended.
You've torn my heart to pieces
You've shattered my heart into pieces.
Couldn't you have left me when you needed?
Why didn't you leave when it was necessary?
Instead of now you're staring at me bleeding
You're staring at me bleeding now instead of leaving earlier.
You've torn my broken heart to pieces
You've torn apart my already broken heart.
I could make amends if there's a way that I believed you
If there's a way I believed you, I could try to make amends.
That she was just a friend—nobody I should care of meet
You claim she was just a friend, someone I shouldn't worry about.
I'd ask where you've been, but I know just how you'll treat me
I know how you'll treat me if I ask where you've been.
You always get angry and shame me like you'd cut me dead
You react with anger and shame, making me feel dead inside.
But your lips they taste like candy guilt… and I see that
Your kisses still carry guilt, and I acknowledge it.
Boy, your eyes betray the lies we built
Again, your eyes expose the lies we've built.
Were you ever gonna tell me about her?
Questioning whether you planned to inform me about her.
It wasn't just "thing" and now it's over
It wasn't a casual encounter; it has now come to an end.
You've torn my heart to pieces
You've shattered my heart into pieces.
Couldn't you have left me when you needed?
Why didn't you leave when it was necessary?
Instead of now you're staring at me bleeding
You're staring at me bleeding now instead of leaving earlier.
You've torn my broken heart to pieces
You've torn apart my already broken heart.
Don't say it's just love
Rejecting the notion that it's just love causing the pain.
How come I can bring you to your knees
Wondering how I can bring you to your knees.
Don't say it's just love
Rejecting the idea that it's just love, unsure if I can breathe.
Cuz baby I don't know if I could breathe
Expressing uncertainty about my ability to endure the pain.
I only wanna be with you, yeah yeah
Expressing a desire to be with you despite the pain.
Were you ever gonna tell me about her?
Repeating the question of whether you would ever inform me about her.
It wasn't just "thing" and now it's over
It wasn't a casual encounter; it has now come to an end.
You've torn my heart to pieces
You've shattered my heart into pieces.
Couldn't you have left me when you needed?
Why didn't you leave when it was necessary?
Instead of now you're staring at me bleeding
You're staring at me bleeding now instead of leaving earlier.
You've torn my broken heart to pieces
You've torn apart my already broken heart.
