little pieces - Kamal.

I know you read my eyes

No need for subtle tears

No need for secrets anymore

I shouldn’t be surprised

I knew how this would be

Since you showed up outside my door

You might not know me best

But every time I rest

I picture you inside my arms

Lying awake abreast

The thoughts that I suppressed

Know they can’t do me any harm

All the little pieces of myself I gave to her

I wish I saved so you could try to understand

And all the fickle people that I told to make it work

They never stayed, they never tried to understand

Where your expressions be, it’s hard to sympathize

But I could never walk away

When every word you speak feels like a sacrifice

I’ll sit in silence, and I’ll stay

And all the little pieces of myself I gave to her

I wish I saved so you could try to understand

And all the fickle people that I told to make it work

They never stayed, they never tried to understand

Then you found me

Love you when you wrap yourself around me

But sometimes I could feel as though I’m drowning, girl

Please don’t hesitate

Then you found me

You’re the only one who didn’t doubt me

Anything you want, then you can show me, girl

Please don’t hesitate

(And it feels like) All the little pieces of myself I gave to her

I wish I saved so you could try to understand

And all the fickle people that I told to make it work

They never stayed, they never tried to understand
