**[Intro]** Yeah... Sometimes I look in the mirror and I don't recognize the person looking back. But then I think about everything I've lived through... And I realize... Every piece came from somewhere. **[Verse 1]** There's a piece of me that still remembers being young, Before the weight of the world ever sat on my lungs, Before I learned that forever could eventually end, Before I knew that somebody could disappear as a friend. There's a piece of me that's angry at the person I became, A piece that wants forgiveness, another piece that wants blame, A piece that still believes every promise that it hears, And another that's been building walls for years. There's a piece of me that loves harder than it should, Piece that gives everything away even when it knows it never could, Piece that stays too long because leaving feels like failure, Piece that learned the hard way love ain't always a savior. There's a piece of every person that I've lost inside my chest, Every memory, every lesson, every moment that was left, Every goodbye that I swallowed, every word I couldn't say, Every person that I loved helped create who I am today. **[Pre-Hook]** I'm not one thing... I'm everything I've survived. **[Hook]** I'm made of pieces, Pieces of me, Some of them broken, Some I can't see. Pieces of love, Pieces of pain, Pieces of people I'll never see again. I'm made of pieces... But every piece is me. **[Verse 2]** I got fragments from the heartbreak embedded in my habits, Patterns from the panic I disguise as being passive, Lessons from the losses that I carry like a casket, Memories so vivid that sometimes I fucking crash in 'em. I got pieces from the people who believed when I was doubting, Pieces from the ones who disappeared without explaining, Pieces from the nights I thought nobody could hear me, Pieces from the moments when somebody actually came near me. Got a piece from every failure, every time I got rejected, Piece from every criticism that I secretly collected, Piece from every victory that reminded me I'm destined, Piece from every setback that became another lesson. I used to think my scars were evidence I'm damaged, Now I see them as a map of every place that I've traveled, Every crack in the mirror tells me something about the battle, Every broken little fragment still reflects a piece of the answer. And maybe I don't need to put the pieces back exactly, Maybe reconstruction doesn't mean becoming who I was, see, Maybe growing means accepting every version that existed, Even the ones I hated... Even the ones I wish I could've fixed. **[Pre-Hook]** I'm not one thing... I'm everything I've survived. **[Hook]** I'm made of pieces, Pieces of me, Some of them broken, Some I can't see. Pieces of love, Pieces of pain, Pieces of people I'll never see again. I'm made of pieces... But every piece is me. **[Bridge]** The broken piece. The angry piece. The scared piece. The hopeful piece. The father. The son. The friend. The lover. The artist. The kid. They're all still here. **[Final Verse]** So if you see me changing, understand I'm still assembling, Taking every shattered part and finally remembering That the person I became isn't something I should fear, He's the product of surviving everything that brought me here. I don't wanna erase the past, even when it hurts to see it, Don't wanna lose the scars because they taught me how to breathe again, Don't wanna trade the pain if it means losing what it gave me, Because every piece I thought was worthless helped create the fucking crazy. The dreamer and the doubter, the believer and the skeptic, The lover and the fighter, every flaw and imperfection, The nights I felt abandoned, every day I felt accepted, Every loss and every blessing left a mark inside the message. And I'm finally starting to understand what the mirror means, It ain't showing something broken, it's displaying everything, All the pieces that survived when I thought there was no me, All the fragments fit together... And that's the motherfucker I see. **[Final Hook]** I'm made of pieces, Pieces of me, Some of them broken, Some I couldn't see. Pieces of love, Pieces of pain, Pieces of people I'll never see again. I'm made of pieces, Pieces of history, Every scar, every memory, Every piece of me. I'm made of pieces... And I finally like what I see. **[Outro]** I thought I had to become somebody else... Turns out... I just had to learn how to live with every piece of me.
