Oh the little pieces falling, shatter.
Shards of me,
Too sharp to put back together.

Gracias de antemano

Shards are broken pieces of pottery or glass. When a piece of ceramic or glass falls and breaks, it shatters into small, sharp-pointed pieces.

 

[dexterciyo]

OK, so when a piece of glass shatters, it becomes shards. isn't that right?

 

[gotitadeleche]

Yes, the idea is that something so overwhelmingly tragic must have happened to the person speaking (or singing) these words that it broke him/her into tiny, sharp pieces that will be difficult, if not impossibe, to put back together again. He/she can´t be fixed.
