Fall Apart
Casey James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can finally sleep through the night,
Roll over to your side,
Smell your perfume,
And not feel a thing.
Hear someone say your name,
Picture your pretty face,
Not close my eyes,
And not feel a sting.

Every time I run into you,
Baby I go a little crazy inside,
Tell myself I gotta breathe,
Try to get my heart to beat.
Photographs, memories,
Fade away easily,
But you're right here in front of me.
Won't let me go.
Since you broke my heart,
Every time I run into you,
I fall apart.
Oh, I fall apart.

Like a shadow right by my side
There's just no place to hide.
This little town's never seemed so small.
I should just stay inside,
Lock the door and kill the lights.
Tum off the phone, just stare at the wall.

Every time I run into you,
Baby I go a little crazy inside,
Tell myself I gotta breathe,
Try to get my heart to beat.
Photographs, memories,
Fade away easily,
But you're right here in front of me.
Won't let me go.
Since you broke my heart,
Every time I run into you,
I fall apart.

I'm looking over my shoulder,
When you're not there,
Lately I can't go away

Every time I run into you,
Baby I go a little crazy inside,
Tell myself I gotta breathe,
Try to get my heart to beat.
Photographs, memories,
Fade away easily,
But you're right here in front of me.
Won't let me go.
Since you broke my heart,
Every time I run into you,
I fall apart.
Oh I fall apart




Yeah, I fall apart
Yeah, I fall apart
