Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

YOU KNOW, I'M NOT PERFECT, AND I NEVER CLAIMED TO BE BUT ONE THING I AM IS A GOOD MAN
AND I FEEL LIKE, I FEEL LIKE SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE, YOU FORGOT THAT
MATTER A FACT, I FEEL LIKE YOU FORGOT US, YOU KNOW CAUSE ALL I EVER DID WAS TRY BUT LATELY, LATELY, IT SEEMS LIKE THAT AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH SO NOW I GUESS THIS IS WHERE WE AT
(VERSE 1)
HOW COULD YOU BE SO COLD GIRL I DON'T EVEN KNOW
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON BETWEEN US
BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU'VE CHANGED THINGS JUST AIN'T THE SAME
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BUT THIS CAN'T BE US
BUT NOW I SEE THINGS DIFFERENT IT JUST FEELS LIKE SOMETHING'S MISSIN
I'M TRYING TO HOLD ON TO US BUT I FEEL YOU SLIPPIN (AWAY)
EVERYTHING'S SO COMPLICATED ALWAYS THOUGH THAT WE WOULD MAKE IT
BUT NOW I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL THAT YOU WERE MY BIGGEST MISTAKE
SO NOW I GUESS IT'S TIME FOR ME TO MOVE ON
GIRL I'M SORRY BUT I NEVER MEANT TO DO WRONG
NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU, GIRL NO WAY

WHY YOU TRIPPIN GIRL THERE'S GOTTA BE A REASON
COME ON BABY CAN YOU TELL ME WHY YOU'RE LEAVIN
GIRL YOU KNOW I NEED YA, THAT'S NO LIE
I CAN'T ESCAPE THIS PAIN I FEEL INSIDE
SO TELL ME WHAT I GOTTA DO TO KEEP YOU IN MY LIFE, MY LIFE
CAUSE YOU AND I BOTH KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AIN'T RIGHT, AIN'T RIGHT

CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON, PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON
HOW WE GO FROM BEING SOMETHING TO NOTHING,
GIRL I'M TIRED OF THE FIGHTING AND FUSSING

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of ILLijah's song "Falling Apart" depict an emotional conversation between two individuals who used to be in a loving relationship that is now coming to an end. The song starts with the artist acknowledging his flaws and declaring himself a good man. He expresses his feelings of being forgotten by his partner and how he tried everything to keep the relationship from falling apart. However, the efforts he's put in lately seem futile. In the first verse, the artist tries to understand the sudden changes he sees in his partner's behavior and how he feels like he's losing her. He's confused about what went wrong between them, and the complications of their present relationship are taking a toll on him. The chorus reveals that the artist has accepted that their relationship has reached a point of no return, and they are now moving on. He acknowledges that their love could have worked, but the constant fighting and fussing made things impossible. In the second verse, ILLijah blames his partner for breaking his heart and contributing to their relationship's failure.

If you allow someone to slip away and someone else sweeps them up,and that someone else's someone was God's angel sent for you,don't let that angel slip away. Regrets are not easy to deal with but with God's grace and your commitment to him he will allow you to heal,and with due time he will send you his angel for you. I promise.
