Falling apart
Emile Haynie Feat. Andrew Wyatt & Brian Wilson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Last Halloween when the devil grinned
The tattoos on your face covered up your skin
Scarred from the sin and those sleepless nights
Trying to find a fight you can't win

So you chased him, traded that good life
Only got yourself another good night
Until the morning darling
When you're right back to

Falling apart, falling apart, you know you're falling apart
Just another little lonely broken heart
How did you get so cold
(You'll never know, you 'll never know)
How did you get so cold

Life is short and you're no longer young enough
To throw around your body for a little fun
Put another photo, spend my cash
Put another photo, have a blast

Now it's gone and I'm dark and your heart is still crawling
It heals, since you kneel
And at baggage claim bawling til the morning darling
And you're right back to

Falling apart, falling apart, you know you're falling apart
Just another little lonely broken heart
How did you get so cold
(You'll never know, you'll never know)
How did you get so cold

You slip away into the morning sun
When he touches your face and your day's begun
I know you hate yourself for what, what you've done
So you push it away, it's getting harder to run

When you run so fast and you run so long
And it's all your fault cause you were never strong
It's not much of a life though darling
It's not much of a life (life)

When you're falling apart,
Falling apart, you know you're falling apart
Just another little lonely broken heart
How did you get so cold

When you're falling apart,
Falling apart, you know you're falling apart
Just another little lonely broken heart
How did you get so cold
(You'll never know, you'll never know)

Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh oh
You never been nothing, baby
You never been nothing, baby
Falling apart, you know you're falling apart
Just another little lonely broken heart
How did you get so cold
How did you get so cold

Falling apart, you know you're falling apart
Just another little lonely broken heart




How did you get so cold
How did you get so cold

Overall Meaning

The song "Falling Apart" by Emile Haynie is about a person who is struggling with the consequences of their choices. The lyrics paint a picture of a young person who has fallen from grace, with tattoos on their face and scars on their skin from a life of sin and sleepless nights. The person is constantly chasing after temporary pleasures, hoping to find solace from the sadness inside. However, every morning, they wake up feeling empty and alone, unable to escape their pain. The song talks about how the person is aware of their brokenness and loneliness but cannot fathom why they have reached this state.


The chorus "Falling apart, falling apart, you know you're falling apart, just another little lonely broken heart, how did you get so cold" is a reminder of the person's disintegration and loneliness. The lyrics of the song convey a message of pain and anguish that comes from making the wrong choices in life. The lines "When you run so fast and you run so long, And it's all your fault cause you were never strong," suggest that the person may feel that their failed life is due to personal weakness.

[Verse 1]
Last Halloween when the devil grinned
The tattoos on your face covered up your skin
Scarred from the sin and those sleepless nights
Trying to find a fight you can't win
So you chased him, traded that good life
Only got yourself another good night
Until the morning, darling
When you're right back to

[Chorus]
Falling apart, falling apart, you know you're falling apart
Just another little lonely broken heart
How did you get so cold?
(You'll never know)
How did you get so cold?

[Verse 2]
Life is short and you're no longer young enough
To throw around your body for a little fun
Put another photo, spend my cash
Put another photo, have a blast
Now it's gone and I'm dark, and your heart is still crawling
It heals, since you kneel
And at baggage claim bawling, 'till the morning darling
And you're right back to
[Chorus]
Falling apart, falling apart, you know you're falling apart
Just another little lonely broken heart
How did you get so cold?
(You'll never know)
How did you get so cold?

[Bridge]
You slip away into the morning sun
When he touches your face and your day's begun
I know you hate yourself for what, what you've done
So you push it away, it's getting harder to run
When you run so fast and you run so long
And it's all your fault 'cause you were never strong
It's not much of a life though, darling (darling)
It's not much of a life (life)
When you're

[Chorus]
Falling apart, falling apart, you know you're falling apart
Just another little lonely broken heart
How did you get so cold?

When you're falling apart
Falling apart, you know you're falling apart
Just another little lonely broken heart
How did you get so cold?
(You'll never know)
How did you get so cold?
[Outro]
You never been nothing, baby
You never been nothing, baby

[Chorus]
Falling apart, you know you're falling apart
Just another little lonely broken heart
How did you get so cold?
How did you get so cold?

Falling apart, you know you're falling apart
Just another little lonely broken heart
How did you get so cold?
How did you get so cold?

I feel so blessed to know this man and his art before I die. He's truly a talented singer. This is my new jam. I could listen to his album over and over again and don't get tired (and this never happens with me). I hope you still make more videos and writing songs
