[Verse 1] I left a thread in Manila rain A coin in a cab in Madrid A promise folded in Lisbon blue A name I forgot but the feeling stayed hid I gave you the part that knew how to wait You took the part that could forgive Now every border has one of my hands And none of them tell me where to live [Pre-Chorus] I keep a room inside my ribs With doors that never close Every goodbye takes one more brick From the place I used to know [Chorus] I gave my heart in little pieces To strangers I still call my own A piece in the heat, a piece in the harbor A piece underneath someone else’s home I gave my heart in little pieces Now it will never beat in one place again But I’m not broken, I’m spread out I’m more than the person I was back then [Verse 2] There’s a blue scarf under Tokyo seats A photograph near the Nile A joke in a kitchen in Valparaíso That still makes a stranger smile I learned that love is a postal code A borrowed coat, a midnight train You don’t return with the same two hands When they’ve carried somebody else’s pain [Pre-Chorus] I keep a map inside my chest The roads are worn and bright Every place I couldn’t stay Still taught me how to write [Chorus] I gave my heart in little pieces To strangers I still call my own A piece in the heat, a piece in the harbor A piece underneath someone else’s home I gave my heart in little pieces Now it will never beat in one place again But I’m not broken, I’m spread out I’m more than the person I was back then [Bridge] If you find me in the voice of a friend Or the way a child says my name Don’t send me back, don’t gather the fragments They grew into something I couldn’t have made I used to beg for a single center One safe address, one locked door Now I carry a thousand small endings And I don’t need to be whole anymore [Final Chorus] I gave my heart in little pieces To strangers I still call my own A piece in the heat, a piece in the harbor A piece underneath someone else’s home I gave my heart in little pieces It will never beat in one place again I’m not missing, I’m spread out Everywhere I loved is where I begin [Outro] Small pieces, wide world Still mine, still moving Small pieces, wide world I’m not lost—I’m becoming
