[Verse 1] I used to say what's on my mind Now I rehearse it every time You had a way of making silence Feel like something I deserved I learned to read between your lines And leave the best of me behind Funny how I called it love When I was doing all the work [Pre-Chorus] I kept making myself smaller Just to fit into your arms If that's what it takes to hold you I'd rather fall apart [Chorus] I gave you half of me And you still wanted more I was everything you needed 'Til I needed something more Now I want it back Every little piece If you couldn't love me whole You don't get half of me [Post-Chorus] Half of me, half of me You don't get half of me Half of me, half of me Not another piece Oh-oh, oh-oh You don't get half of me [Verse 2] I still catch myself apologizing When I haven't done a thing Still hear your voice inside my head When I decide what I should think But there's a version of myself You never got to meet She's been waiting at the door And she's coming home with me [Pre-Chorus] I kept making myself smaller Just to fit into your arms If that's what it takes to hold you I'd rather fall apart [Chorus] I gave you half of me And you still wanted more I was everything you needed 'Til I needed something more Now I want it back Every little piece If you couldn't love me whole You don't get half of me [Bridge] And I don't hate you That's the hardest part I just wish I'd noticed When I started disappearing [Final Chorus] I gave you half of me And you still wanted more Now I'm everything I needed And I don't need you anymore I want it back Every little piece If you couldn't love me whole You don't get half of me [Outro] Half of me Half of me Not another piece Not another piece
