To Pieces
Shattered Roads: Navigating Heartbreak in Connie Smith's 'To Pieces'
Lyrics
I don't haunt the same old places we used to hang around
Feeling uncomfortable revisiting our old hangout spots.
I can't take the chance of seein' you with the new love that you've found
Avoiding the risk of witnessing you with a new love interest.
When you're face to face with heartache down a thousand windin' roads
Facing heartache through various challenges and uncertainties.
I guess to pieces is the only place to go
Embracing a state of emotional breakdown as the only refuge.
I won't walk to the mailbox I don't pick up the phone
Refusing to engage with communication that may remind me of you.
I'm avoidin' all our old friends, they remind me that you're gone
Avoiding mutual friends who serve as painful reminders of your absence.
Turn down their invitations, politely tell them no
Politely declining social invitations to maintain emotional distance.
I guess to pieces is the only place to go
Accepting emotional fragmentation as the only viable coping mechanism.
Don't know which road to follow don't know which way to turn
Feeling lost and uncertain about the right path to take.
As I look in each direction there's another bridge i've burned
Regretting the bridges burned in different directions.
Well it's waitin' round the corner and your memory takes a toll
Anticipating more challenges with the memory of our past.
I guess to pieces is the only place to go
Choosing emotional fragmentation as the inevitable destination.
Don't know which road to follow don't know which way to turn
Reiterating the sense of confusion and directionlessness.
As I look in each direction there's another bridge i've burned
Reflecting on the consequences of burning bridges in different directions.
Well it's waitin' round the corner and your memory takes a toll
Anticipating challenges ahead with the lingering memory of you.
I guess to pieces is the only place to go
Concluding that emotional fragmentation is the inevitable choice.
I guess to pieces is the only place to go
Acknowledging emotional breakdown as the sole refuge.
