Love,
i won't break your heart,
its a long way down from here,
everytime you fall and break apart,
i will pick you up again.

With your head up high,
would you try,
try to place your feet back on the ground,
I found that its easier to hide,
in the cold alone,
an arrival since the day you fell apart,
oh but honey i'm alive.

Love,
i won't break your heart,
cause i've seen this all before,
your a fire that grows from just a spark,
and then walks right out the door.

With your head up high,
would you try,
try to place your feet back on the ground,
I found that its easier to hide,
in the cold alone,
an arrival since the day you fell apart,
oh but honey i'm alive.

Crying on the phone,
when you said you were alone,
I am gonna stay,
though your friends have gone away,
all the secrets that we have,
only keep the worlds alive,
but you've got something left to give,
if you'd only learn to live.

With your head up high,
would you try,
cause your the only one to pull me through,
its true,
and it seems a waste of time,
to grow old alone,
we've been dyin since the day we fell apart,
oh honey i'm still alive, i'm still alive

Overall Meaning

The New Frontier's "The Day You Fell Apart" is a song about love and support in a time of crisis. The lyrics describe the singer's commitment to helping their partner through difficult times. The chorus is particularly poignant, with the singer pledging not to break their partner's heart and promising to pick them up every time they fall and break apart. The message of the song is ultimately one of hope - the singer recognizes that it's hard to keep going when everything seems to be falling apart, but they encourage their partner to keep their head up and keep trying.

The song's verses talk about the struggle of dealing with difficult emotions when everyone else seems to be moving on. The lines "I found that it's easier to hide, in the cold alone" suggest that the singer understands the urge to isolate oneself when things get tough, but they encourage their partner to reach out for help. The bridge also reinforces this idea, with the singer promising to stay with their partner even when others have left - the line "all the secrets that we have, only keep the worlds alive" suggests that the two of them have a special bond that can get them through anything.
