Fall Apart
Eight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I... Knew about it from the start
The reason why we fell apart
You don't want me for my heart

Ever since the beginning... I never understood you
What is false and what is true
I never noticed never knew
You left me hanging
What am i supposed to do with myself
You got my soul
And you keep ripping it into twelve

It was never a pretty sight
To see you up at night
I kept my silence
Hoping things will be alright

No question i was worried
My heartbeat hurried
I felt like i was buried
In the ground

With you on my tombstone
You left me in my lowest
You didn't even make a sound

Toyed with my time
You made salt from honey
All these things you deny
You wasted all that money
No need to hide it all, I've heard it all before baby

You was a good girl
You made salt from honey
You was a good girl
Now you gone crazy

I.... Knew about it from the start
The reason why we fell apart
You don't want me for my heart

And since the beginning
I never understood you
What is false and what is true
I never noticed never knew





Didn't know the problem was you

This is a wonderful video, and I'm wondering how they did it, is it camera on a extendable boom? Drones weren't really a thing then.

Satisfictionspeaks it’s a super techno crane with a remote head on a dolly track. We rehearsed all day and did 5 tales at sunset. Yes drones didn’t exist but it would be rear impossible to fly a shot like that anyway.
