Yes, this is the greatest Tori song in my opinion because of what the words mean to me. I absolutely agree with the other interpretations here. I have used this song to get through many difficult breakups and although I have been happily married for many years I cannot escape the feeling those words have for me because I don't think anyone has ever said it better, how it feels to be left by someone who you love, who you feel hasn't bothered to get to know you well enough, for someone who may have the same qualities you have--that person just hasn't taken the time to see it: "Maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen"
And she even admits in the song that she doesn't know him as well as she could: "I know you WELL, well, better than I used to" and she wants him to give them a chance, but he won't. He has all the power, and he's leaving.
Yes, some Tori fans will say this song isn't as deep as her other songs and so it's not her best, but I disagree, anyone can get this song, everyone who has had someone they love leave them has felt these things, and I can think of very few other songs that express it so well.
