[Verse 1] I used to hide the pieces I didn't know how to explain Put them somewhere out of sight And hope they disappear someday [Verse 2] Time has a way of showing Or we spend our lives afraid to see And somewhere in the silence I started finding pieces of me [Chorus] There's a question every step before I take it There's a side that keeps on dreaming even when I'm scared to chase it There are memories I carry, there are things I can't undo But I'm learning every chapter doesn't have to define what I do I spent so long trying to change every part I couldn't understand Now I'm learning how to hold them with a little more compassion in my hands [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I don't have to fix it Maybe I don't have to hide Maybe all these different pieces Were just waiting for the right time [Chorus] These are the pieces of me Every color, every shade Every dream I kept inside Every choice I ever made These are the pieces of me And I'm finally letting them be I don't have to be somebody else to become who I'm meant to be Every scar, every memory, every hope I still believe When I put them all together They're the pieces of me [Verse 3] There were days I felt like someone I was never meant to be Trying to fit inside a picture that was never drawn for me But the mirror doesn't scare me like it used to long ago Now I'm looking at the person I've been learning how to know [Chorus] I can't carry what I've lived through without letting it control me I can honor where I've started while becoming who I'll be Maybe I don't have to fix it Maybe I don't have to hide Maybe all these different pieces Were just waiting for the right time These are the pieces of me Every color, every shade Every dream I kept inside Every choice I ever made These are the pieces of me And I'm finally letting them be I don't have to be somebody else to become who I'm meant to be Every scar, every memory, every hope I still believe When I put them all together They're the pieces of me [Bridge] Pieces of me Pieces of me I don't have to hide anymore Pieces of me Pieces of me I'm learning what they're for If I could go back and meet the person I was yesterday I wouldn't tell them to be perfect, I would tell them it's okay It's okay to take your time, it's okay to change your mind It's okay to have a heart that's still discovering its way And every road that brought me here is part of the story I can see I don't have to erase the past to make room for who I'll be [Chorus] These are my dreams, these are my doubts These are the words I couldn't say out loud These are the moments that made me grow These are the places that taught me to know Who you are I'm finally seeing Who you are I'm finally believing Who you are You don't have to disappear These are the pieces of me Every color, every shade Every dream I kept inside Every choice I ever made These are the pieces of me And I'm finally letting them be I don't have to be somebody else to become who I'm meant to be Every scar, every memory, every hope I still believe When I put them all together They're the pieces of me [Outro] I won't hide them I won't change them They're part of who I am Part of who you are These are the pieces of me Finally standing free Not because I'm perfect, but because I'm learning to believe These are the pieces of me Every part belongs to me The dreams, the doubts, the highs, the lows Everything I had to be I don't need to erase a single chapter I don't need to hide another page Every piece became a part of my story Every moment helped me find my way I'm becoming who I am I'm becoming who I am These are the pieces The pieces of me And for the first time I wouldn't change a thing
