Undone
♫ Lifehouse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see it your eyes you're hurting
But pain is part of learning who you are
All these truths can sometimes be deceiving
When your whole world comes crashing to the ground

Tell me everything you need now anything at all
And I will be the one who's waiting anytime you fall
Yeah, When you come undone
When you come undone

You know I can't be like everybody
'Cause I can't tell you what you want to hear
I don't know if I can make it better
All I know is I will be around

Tell me everything you need now anything at all
And I will be the one who's waiting anytime you fall

Yeah, When you come undone
When you come undone

When all the plans you made are lying on the floor
And all your dreams are turning into nothing more
When all your hope has left you know you're not alone
Just hold on
Hold on

Tell me everything you need now anything at all
And I will be the one who's waiting anytime you fall





Yeah, When you come undone
When you come undone

Overall Meaning

The song "Undone" by Lifehouse is a reassuring ballad about being there for someone who is struggling. The opening lines acknowledge that the subject of the song is hurting, but that pain is ultimately a part of personal growth. The next lines highlight the confusing nature of truth and how it can lead to feeling overwhelmed when one's world comes crashing down. However, the chorus provides a comforting message that no matter what happens, the singer will be there to support and catch the individual when they come undone.


The second verse acknowledges that the singer cannot solve all of the individual's problems but notes that they will always remain by their side. The bridge of the song takes on an anthemic quality, providing words of encouragement for those who have fallen and lost their dreams. The final chorus brings the song to a close with a repetition of the message that the singer will always be there for the individual, emphasizing the importance of never giving up hope.
