Falls Apart
Sugar Ray Lyrics

She falls apart
The woman is experiencing emotional and mental breakdowns.

By herself
Nobody is there to help her or provide support.

No one there to talk or understand
There is no person or people in her life who can listen to her or empathize with her situation.

Feels the same
She can relate to the tough situations and struggles that others have encountered.

Dries her eyes
She tries to manage her emotions by preventing herself from showing tears.

Finds herself, opens a door and sighs
She tries to overcome her situation by finding a way out and exhaling her despair.

People see right through you
Others can easily detect the façade she’s putting up.

Everyone who knows you well
People who are close to her and understand her behavior.

Might as well
Since there is nothing else to do at this moment!

Day is long and nothin' is wasted
Life is long, and at times it feels empty and void of substance.

Run away, run away
The woman wishes to escape from the current circumstances causing her pain.

Hold you tomorrow but your goin' away
She wants to hold onto the possibility of things getting better in the future but feels like she's losing hope.

You walk alone
She’s travelling all by herself, with no companionship or assistance.

There's the sound, nothin' is changin'
She hears the same noises over and over again while things stay stagnant.

They've gone away
The people who care about the woman have departed.

Left you there
They left her behind, struggling to cope.

Emptiness in nothin' you can't share
The emptiness that has filled her life cannot be conveyed or explained to anybody else.

All those words that hurt you
The words of others that negatively influenced the woman.

More than you would let it show
She has been trying to hide the amount of pain she's experiencing.

Comes apart
She begins to break down and can no longer hold herself together.

Always well but nothing is wasted
She maintains a facade of being stable, but nothing she does makes a difference.

Sometimes I feel aroused so I cannot be down
Sometimes, she feels a high amount of energy, which prevents her from feeling depressed.

All the time I've been on my owm
She’s been alone all along.

Any sound of being here
Every sound around her reminds her that she’s present physically but is emotionally void.

Time to wastearound a friend
The presence of friends could help waste time and kill boredom for the woman.

I know where to runaway.
The woman knows where to run to in times of difficulty and run away from stress.

No where to run away yeah!
But right now, she has nowhere to run to.

Hold her hand and seems to disappear
Getting physical with someone seems to be the only way to forget about her pain temporarily.
