Put It Back Together
Diana Vickers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you think you're sinking, you probably are
Only you can know, only you can know
If you think you're falling, you probably will
You've got to lose yourself, and not let go

I think we'll be alright
I think we will survive
Everybody gets a little scared like this sometimes
I think we'll be alright
I think we will survive
You've got to fall apart
And Put It Back Together again

I never said I loved you quite enough
I hope it's not too late, I hope it's not too late
I've got this one fresh second, one fresh minute, one fresh hour of my day
To hope it's not too late, I hope it's not too late

I think we'll be alright
I think we will survive
Everybody gets a little scared like only sometimes
I think we'll be alright
I think we will survive
You've got to fall apart
And Put It Back Together again
You've got to fall apart
And Put It Back Together again

I going to tell you I love you, one more time
Again and again
Again and again-n
I've got this one fresh second, one fresh minute,
one fresh hour of my day
To pray it's not too late, I hope it's not too late

I think we'll be alright
I think we will survive
Everybody gets a little scared like this sometimes
I think we'll be alright
I think we will survive
You've got to fall apart
And Put It Back Together again
You've got to fall apart
And Put It Back Together again





You've got to fall apart
And Put It Back Together again
