Falling Apart
Eli Sostre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you love me too much, you shouldn't stay
When your heart is so broke, you run away
When your heart is so broke, you run away
Think about you from the
Mornin' to the night
I've been up, I'm hopin'
Thinkin' I'm fallin' apart oh, oh oh oh
Thinkin' I'm breakin' your heart
Baby I can't fall back, from you
Both got a past but this shit make me laugh
Yeah I like my hoes in the dirt
Yeah I like when she go grass
I can never put you first
'Cause you gon' put me last
If it hurts you too much, you shouldn't stay
If you love me too much, you shouldn't stay
When your heart is so broke, you run away
When your heart is so broke, you run away
Think about you from the
Mornin' to the night
I've been up, I'm hopin'
That you sleep alright, hmm
Thinkin' I'm fallin' apart oh, oh oh oh
Thinkin' I'm breakin' your heart
Baby I can't fall back, from you
Both got a past but this shit make me laugh
Yeah I like my hoes in the dirt
Yeah I like when she go grass
I can never put you first
'Cause you gon' put me last
Thinkin' I'm fallin' apart oh, oh oh oh
Thinkin' I'm breakin' your heart
When it's cold I'm emotional
'Cause my soul got sold to you
Don't forget to leave to house with it
It's no way that I'ma go with you
Saturday comes and Saturday goes, yeah
I'm tellin' you things, you already know
That's something you will never do
You never waste a breath on truth
I had some real bad habit's too
I left those parts of me in you
