I Fall Apart
Cimorelli Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, I fall apart

He told me that I′m not enough
And he left me with a broken heart
He fooled me twice and it's all my fault
He cut too deep and he left me scarred

Now there′s so many thoughts runnin' through my brain
I'm fallin apart, he don′t know my pain

Ooooh I fall apart, down to my core
Ooooh I fall apart, down to my core
Ooooh didn′t know it before, surprised when you caught me off guard
What'd you say, guess you forgot
I was your shorty, I thought

Never caught a feelin′ this hard, blinded by the lies you told
Tell me you don't want me no more but I can′t let go
Everybody told me so, I'm feelin′ like I lost it all
Thought I'd always be your girl
Thought I'd always be your girl

You said it
No you said it
No you said it
We′d be together

Ooooh I fall apart, down to my core
Ooooh I fall apart, down to my core
I didn′t know it before, surprised when you caught me off guard
What'd you say, guess you forgot
I was your shorty, I thought

Rain keep pourin′ and the hurt keep flowin'
Try to brush it off but it keep on goin′
Covered in scars and I can't help showin′
Whipin' in the foreign and the tears keep rollin'
Lights keep droppin′ and the hurt keep flowin′
Try to brush it off but it keep on goin'
All of these scars can′t help from showin'
Whipin′ in the foreign and the tears keep rollin', yeahhh

Ooooh I fall apart, down to my core
Ooooh I fall apart, down to my core
Ooooh didn′t know it before, surprised when you caught me off guard




What'd you say, guess you forgot
I was your shorty, I thought

Chloe Sharp No need to be mean. You have a very strong opinion but you could have put it in a different way, like for example, I didn’t really like it, but you tried. There’s always a nicer way to put things.
