about

3,000 Pieces of Me is about feeling blind sided by a breakup and the pain of all of the things you lose when someone moves out of your life. Sweet memories turn sour, and the song that used to light you up makes you switch off the radio. When she walks out of your life forever she’s taking pieces of your heart. And your favorite sweater. And some of your favorite records. And it’s all just… gone.

3,000 Pieces of Me is the third single from Eric Linden’s forthcoming album “Burning up the Marquee.

lyrics

I’m not understanding
Why you’re out standing in the rain
You just packed up your boxes
And used up my packaging tape
You smeared your mascara
Said you’re done crying for me
Now you’re filling your suitcase
The one we bought for our trip to Belize

You say that you’re leaving
You can’t wait to be free
But you’re taking three thousand
Three thousand pieces of me

You’re still wearing my sweater
It was a favorite of mine
But in this dreary weather
Don’t think I even mind
But my record collection
Is looking awfully sparse
Don’t take my Elton Johns
Please don’t go breaking my heart

You say that you’re leaving
You can’t wait to be free
But you’re taking three thousand
Three thousand pieces of me

The windshield wipers are squeaking
On your Honda Accord
Now your shoulders are heaving
Your back turned to my front porch

You say that you’re leaving
You can’t wait to be free
But you’re taking three thousand
Three thousand pieces of me

You say that you’re leaving
You can’t wait to be free
But you’re taking three thousand
Three thousand pieces of me
