Not In Pieces Songtext
von ELIKAI /// ELEVATE

I was told love comes in portions
Measured out if I behave
That I′d earn it in small moments
Then lose it when I change

But what I feel when I'm quiet
Doesn′t flicker, doesn't fade
It doesn't rush to explain itself

Nothing hidden
Nothing split
Nothing waiting to be fixed

You don′t move in fragments
You don′t come in waves
You're not here in pieces
Then gone when I break

What holds me together
Was never restrained
Love isn′t divided
And neither am I when I'm aligned


I′ve known affection that felt nervous
Always checking if I'm enough
But this presence doesn′t hesitate
It doesn't pull away from what it touches

It's not anxious
It′s not loud
It doesn′t need to prove itself out
It meets me exactly where I stand
And somehow makes me whole again

Nothing borrowed
Nothing strained
Nothing promised then delayed

You don't move in fragments
You don′t come in waves
You're not here in pieces
Then gone when I change

What steadies my breathing
Was never arranged
Love isn′t divided
And neither am I when I'm aligned

Not above me
Not removed
Not a distant point of view


Moment to moment
Here and now
In my breath
In my doubt

You don′t come and go
You don't shift with my fear
You're not only in silence
You′re not only in tears

You′re not just in the open
You're not just in the pain
Love isn′t divided
And I feel that same wholeness in me

Not in pieces
Not withheld
Still present
Still held
