I Go to Pieces
Fragments of Longing: When Love Leaves
Lyrics
When I see him walkin' down the street
Observing the subject walking down the street
I get so shaky and I feel so weak
Feeling physically unstable and emotionally vulnerable
I tell my eyes look the other way
Instructing eyes to look away to avoid emotional distress
But they don't seem to hear a word I say
Expressing frustration as the eyes seem unresponsive
And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
Undergoing emotional breakdown and the desire to conceal
Go to pieces and I almost die
Experiencing intense emotional pain, almost reaching a point of emotional death
Everytime my baby passes by
Reacting strongly to the presence of the romantic interest
I tell my arms they'll hold someone new
Advising arms to embrace a new love
Another love that will be true
Seeking another genuine and loyal love
But they don't listen, they don't seem to care
Expressing frustration as arms don't heed the advice
They reach for him but he's not there
Reaching out for the subject who is no longer present
And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
Repeating the emotional breakdown and desire to hide
Go to pieces and I almost die
Reiterating the intensity of emotional pain
Everytime my baby passes by
Reacting strongly to the passing of the romantic interest
I remember what he said when he said
Recalling the farewell words spoken by the romantic interest
"Goodbye baby. We'll meet again soon maybe"
Quoting the words of parting, expressing hope for a future meeting
"But until we do, all my best to you"
Conveying good wishes until the anticipated reunion
I'm so lonely, I think about him only
Feeling profound loneliness and constant thoughts of the romantic interest
I go to places we used to go
Visiting places reminiscent of shared moments with the romantic interest
But I know she'll never show
Acknowledging the absence of the romantic interest
She hurt me so much inside
Expressing inner pain caused by the romantic interest
Now I hope she's satisfied
Hoping that the romantic interest is now content
And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
Repeating the emotional breakdown and the desire to hide
Go to pieces and I almost die
Reiterating the intensity of emotional pain
Everytime my baby passes by
Reacting strongly to the passing of the romantic interest
Go to pieces and I cry
Adding a layer of crying to the emotional response
Everytime my baby passes by
Repeating the reaction to the passing of the romantic interest
Go to pieces and I cry
Emphasizing the emotional breakdown and the act of crying
