The Last Piece

[tape saturation, subtle analog warmth] [Arrangement: Keep Minimal Changes] [verse 1] I remember the wanting more than the love, the way it felt to open my hands. Didn’t know a heart could scatter like glass just for trying to understand. I was young enough to think it was brave to give it all away. Verse 2 I gave what I could to whoever would stay, each time a little less to spare. Pieces fell where they wanted to fall, and I just left them there. Now what’s left still beats, somehow — quiet, cracked, but mine. Chorus You got the last piece left inside, the one I couldn’t lose and still survive. If this love falls apart, there won’t be more to find — you got the last piece left inside. Bridge There’s a quiet place I try not to be, a future made that would never be. Some dreams die before they start to live, and I’ve got no more left to give. Final Chorus You got the last piece left inside, the one I couldn’t lose and still survive. If this love falls apart, there’s nowhere left to hide — you got the last piece left inside.
