"FALLING AWAY"
By Hugh Wilson and Lindsay Jehan

I?m falling away
I?m falling away with you

We can?t always say
In the cold light of day what?s through

Time will heal your wounds
I?ll see you through

I thought we?d create
Hearts in a sea of Blue
We?d give and not take
I said I believed in you

But I?m falling away
I?m falling away with you
Time will heal your wounds
I?ll see you through
Your eyes may fade from view
I?ll see you through..

I?m torn at the seams
It pains me to breathe
You think that you?re not needed

But I feel your pain, it?s alway the same
But let's not feed it
You're here in my soul
I want you to know
I?ll never leave

There?s nothing to say
No more charades for fools
I came here to stay
I?m falling away with you
I?m falling away
I?m falling away with you..

Time will heal your wounds
I?ll see you through
Your eyes may fade from view
I?ll see you through
Time will heal your wounds
I?ll see you through

I?m falling away




I?m falling away with you
I?m falling away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hugh Wilson's song "Falling Away" describe the feeling of falling out of a relationship, but still having love and care for the other person. The repetition of "I'm falling away with you" implies that the two individuals are in this together, experiencing the same difficult emotions. However, the line, "We can't always say in the cold light of day what's through" suggests that the singer is unsure why the relationship is ending or what the future holds.


The chorus, "Time will heal your wounds, I'll see you through," shows the singer's commitment to being there for their partner during this difficult time, even if they both are falling apart. The line "Your eyes may fade from view, I'll see you through" displays the intensity of the love and loyalty that the singer holds towards their partner, despite potentially losing them. "I'm torn at the seams, It pains me to breathe" and "But I feel your pain, it's always the same" demonstrate the pain and suffering that the singer is enduring, as they try to navigate the end of their relationship.


Overall, "Falling Away" is a poignant song about the complexities of relationships and how difficult it can be to let go of someone, even when it's necessary. The lyrics capture the emotions of heartbreak, uncertainty, and loyalty in a touching and relatable way.

Wow I am so surprised to see how many people felt similar to how I felt... this song transported me to a whole new world and gave me such a warm comfortable feeling that I cannot quite describe but it makes me wanna dwell in that world and i forget everything else... for the first time i feel as though a song is spiritual and this really has the potential to calm me down. GENIUS.
