I don't know why I even try anymore
If every night we end up like this
My hope keeps fading
Yet I still don't know how to walk away
With two cold plates on the table
It's already late from so much arguing
I've got no strength left to defend myself
After all the times I fought for you
I can't leave because I was happy
So long ago, so long
If this counts as love for you
I don't want you to love me
Somebody come get me
Anyone's better than this
I just can't get you
And now I don't even know
I won't make it on my own
Pull me out of here, I can't get out
So long ago, so long
My pieces don't fit with you
Why keep working on the puzzle?
I feel tiny when you point at me so much
I'm like a compass; I lose north when I hug you
Even if I spell it out, I know it'll be pointless
Why fool ourselves when it's clear we don't fit?
I can't leave, 'cause I was happy
So long ago, so long
If this counts as love for you
I don't want you to love me
Somebody come get me
Anyone's better than this
I just can't get you
And now I don't even know
I won't make it on my own
Pull me out of here, I can't get out
So long ago, so long
My pieces don't fit with you
Why keep working on the puzzle?
Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
If this counts as love for you
I don't want you to love me
Somebody come get me
Anyone's better than this
I just can't get you
And now I don't even know

SONG MEANING

Puzzle is Chiara Oliver’s bilingual cry for help, sung from the eye of a broken relationship. Picture two puzzle pieces that once clicked together flawlessly; time has bent their edges, and now they just won’t fit. Over a backdrop of chilled plates on the dinner table and late-night arguments, Chiara’s narrator confesses that her hope is fading fast. She remembers a distant past where love felt real, yet she is trapped, unable to walk away, begging “Sáquenme de aquí, no puedo salir” – “Get me out of here, I can’t escape.”

The song plays with vivid metaphors – a compass that loses its north when she hugs him, puzzle pieces that no longer align – to describe the confusion of loving someone whose idea of love has become hurtful. It’s an anthem for anyone who has stayed too long simply because “once upon a time” was beautiful. Chiara Oliver, hailing from Italy and singing in Spanish, turns this emotional stalemate into an unforgettable pop gem that urges listeners to choose self-worth over a mismatched love story.
