Falling Apart
Copper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is just another way to say I love you
But you'll never know how I feel
Maybe you need a little time
To clear you head
Right now I feel so left behind
But I look the other way
And I call at three in the morning
I'm trying not to anaylize you now
I never want to let you go
I never want to lose you
Falling apart at the seams
Is just another way to say I love you
But you'll never know how I feel
You bring out the heartache in me
And it's another way to say I need you
Will you ever know how I feel
I try and keep you to myself
But I'm loosing faith
I can't believe the fact that I
Can't find the words to say
I see you look through me
And I know you're better without me
I'm hoping you will give me time
'Cause I'd never turn away
I never want to let you go
I never want to lose you
Falling apart at the seams
Is just another way to say I love you
But you'll never know how I feel
You bring out the heartache in me
And it's another way to say I need you
Will you ever know how I feel
Are you ever gonna find
Ever gonna see
Ever gonna let it be
Ever gonna take the time to let me in
'Cause I don't wanna wait
I'll never let you go
Falling apart at the seams
Is just another way to say I love you
But you'll never know how I feel
You bring out the heartache in me
And it's another way to say I need you
Will you ever know how I feel
I'm falling apart
(I'm falling, I'm falling)
I'm falling apart
(I'm falling, I'm falling)
'Cause I don't wanna wait
(I'm falling, I'm falling)
I'm falling apart
I'm falling, I'm falling
