Lyrics:
buried myself into somebody else
shut out some parts of me
did it so casually
i guess i needed that
to be able to step back
i lived my life without me
i never allowed me to
too much i’ve had to live for
put my life on hold for
i’m always pleasin’ someone
honestly now i’m done
i don’t need somebody to hold me
don’t need somebody to love me
don’t need somebody to pick these pieces up
i put together my broken
let go of the pain i’ve been holdin’
don’t need to need somebody
when i got me
loved you so much
took an army to pull me up
but now on the other side
i remembered i could fly
i told you i wanted you
but you needed me to need you
your insecurity
was the death of you and me
too many times you questioned
what were my intentions
i never gave you reasons
you’re the one with secrets
i don’t need somebody to hold me
don’t need somebody to love me
don’t need somebody to pick these pieces up
i put together my broken
let go of the pain i’ve been holdin’
don’t need to need somebody
when i got me
when i got me
when i got me
i bet you feel the absence of my love every night
there’s no one else, you are the reason i said goodbye
cause i don’t need somebody to scold me
don’t need somebody that hurts me
don’t need somebody who feels weak standing next to me
i put together my broken
let go of your hand i’ve been holdin’
don’t need to need somebody
when i got me
when i got me, yeah

Kelly Clarkson in 2016 - "Piece by piece, he collected me" Kelly Clarkson in 2023 - "Don't need somebody to pick these pieces up" 💪

[@IvelinaDobreva]

Yes!! Very said how this ended up but very good how she took this, as self empowerment and learnt an important lesson.

[@alicekimpel5469]

Kelly said in an interview when asked about song Piece by Piece that it was a lot of responsibility to put on someone to expect someone else to pick up broken. pieces and help put you back together. Guessing now she sees she is strong enough to do it herself. Just my guess. Sad though as we can help others heal if we love them enough I think and don’t put them through similar crap.

[@MelissaThompson432]

Well, this song does say, maybe I needed to depend on somebody long enough to step back and take a look at myself. Or that's how I heard it.

[@oxforddictonary]

She mentioned the parallel of the lyrics herself on her show with Garth Brooks, yes.

[@katherinepollock]

I noticed the same thing! It's touching but heartbreaking

[@mirtieraczo5842]

"Don't need somebody who feels weak standin' next to me." That part right there!

This is like she took "Flowers" to church, so good

After 28 years of marriage , I feel this song in every fiber of my heart! I took his abuse emotional and physical! I have Multiple Sclerosis an adrenal tumor and possibly lupus ! I have raised his children all these years while he was on the road living another life! Ive been a stay at home mom all these years ! Our baby is autistic and about to graduate high school but I’m done ! I can’t anymore ! I will find a way to get my kids a home for when my time here on earth is done , they will have something NO ONE can take from them ! Thank you Miss Kelly I felt this to my core ! Much love , peace and happiness!

[@BarbieDolll1504]

God bless you 🙏🏾 stay strong 🫂

[@zcsapo2125]

I just left my husband after nearly 20 yrs. He was always mentally and emotionally abusive sometimes physically but for some reason I am still very sad 😢. This song gives me hope

[@Maillady42]

Same! After 30yrs, he was a police officer & slept with multiple CO’s at his jail & then raped one & got away with it! They gave him the option to retire or be fired!🤦‍♀️ Obviously I was done, but I was sick, w/cancer, lungs, liver & kidney failure, but once I got away from this toxic relationship my body healed!🙌🏼 Sometimes we have to look inward to move forward! ❤

[@thaliac7853]

I left my ex husband when I was 28 . He was extremely abusive physically mentally and emotionally. He tried to take our kids but I fought him in court n got full custody. After 2 years of hell! I'm now 50 n remarried to an amazing man! Who treats me like a queen! So yess you can build a better life without him! You can do it! Just fight esp for your children.

[@aime09]

[@rawsiebee1]

Yes!

[@ssongs9008]

This is so fire!!! Kelly's vocals, the backgrounds, that bridge, and the honesty of the lyrics, this needs to be on repeat for 2023. Calling it now, Grammy nominations for Kelly and Chemistry. We love you Kelly, so worth the wait ❤️❤️❤️

[@Andyyoureastar]

Yes!!! The two songs she released have been on REPEAT

[@edeclark]

I ain't complainin' but the song ends abruptly. I think she could've thrown in a repeat of one of the earlier lines again. I like the backwards reference about picking up the pieces from "Piece By Piece" too.

[@Sophie-ws6bx]

Yessss she needs Grammys for these masterpieces

[@kendrabryant4738]

She’s nominated for one (it should be more but..). Let’s hope she takes it! It’s definitely the best album in the category with the best vocals as well! I like some of the other artists too, but I’m just stating the facts.

[@theallmightyoffrance2419]

From "Because of you" to "Piece by Piece" then "Me". What a journey it has been.

[@LuzAlvarez-eh3wj]

She doesn't need to say nothing else. Good for you Kelly, keep doing what you are doing. God bless you and your kids.

[@ayeshaleephotography]

I can’t wait to hear her sing this live. This is beautiful and deep. I got goose bumps listening to this song.

I needed to hear this tonight because I live with a Narcissist for the past 10 years I didn't understand why he was abusive physically but now it's emotionally he drains me every time he gets drunk and I have just a few drinks because I've learned my lesson not to get drunk with him now when I do just to relax the whole would is wrapped around him and interrupts when I'm talking.

[@peggymartin5355]

Kelly sings like she is the entire ocean. I would love for her to be my granddaughter. I would never ask her anything except to let me listen to her sing every day. I am on the last quarter of this journey called life and "I won't complain" most days there is always one of her songs that I have on loop for a couple of hours. I don’t know if Kelly ever looks at the comments on here youtube channel, however; I love every note out of her mouth always. ❤

[@brendawilliams5032]

Heard this 2 days ago on the radio when I was driving. The presenter asked for opinions on the song and I stopped the car to send an answer. Couldn’t get through, but I stopped as well, because this song made me cry. Wasn’t expecting that but her voice and the lyrics really got to me and I guess it related to some of the issues I’ve been experiencing in the last year. Fabulous Kelly, fabulous heart wrenching song. ❤. Please go on providing your wonderful music. I am sure it helps people to get rid of some of their anxieties when they have a good old cry. Never give up. x

[@steviejunior9692]

This is my second comment on this wonderful song but I have to say this song is hitting home. Years ago I left my 15 year relationship. For 7 years it’s been just me. And this song made me realize that I was healing, becoming strong, demanding better. Though this song comes from pain I’m glad it is of strength. And I’m glad you’ve given me such an amazing self reflection.
