Feels like I'm broken broken broken
Sun don't even shine I dont wanna go outside
Feels like I'm dyin dyin dyin
Can't believe that it's over
See I been cryin like 5 days straight and
I want this hurt to be over
Sayin it's gonna be okay, alright but when's okay coming
Girl you dont need him, but their not the one that loved him
They don't know this pain, never felt the same
So let me explain
Feels like I'm fallin
I'm fallin and I can't get up (I've fallin and I can't get up)
Feels like I'm broken
And your not here to fix me up (And your not here to fix me up)
Feels like the sun don't even shine no more,
I dont wanna go outside no more
Ever since my sunshine been gone
Feels like I'm dying, dying to be back in your arms
That's what it feels like baby
All this time that we puttin in
See I dont wanna have to start all over
How I act like you dont exist
When there's portraits of your face all over
Every where I look I'm seein something
That reminds me of you
I do yea
I think my mind is playin games
Tell me if you feel the same
Baby let me explain
Feels like I'm fallin
I'm fallin and I can't get up (I've fallin and I can't get up)
Feels like I'm broken
And your not here to fix me up (And your not here to fix me up)
Feels like the sun don't even shine no more,
I dont wanna go outside no more
Now that your gone
Feels like I'm dying, dying to be back in your arms
That's what it feels like baby
I'm so torn inside
I just want you back here by my side
Cause you are the only thing thats real in my life
Boy I need you back with me
Ooo so tell me whats it gonna be
Feels like I'm fallin
I'm fallin and I can't get up (I've fallin and I can't get up)
Feels like I'm broken
And your not here to fix me up (And your not here to fix me up)
Feels like the sun don't even shine no more,
I dont wanna go outside no more
Feels like I'm dying, dying to be back in your arms
That's what it feels like baby
In "Fallin'," K. Michelle sings about the pain and sorrow that she is feeling after being left by someone she loved. She starts by describing the depths of her sadness, saying that she feels like she's sinking in sorrow and that she's in hell. She knows that she's in the same place where she was left, and she's trying to get over the pain, but it's really difficult. In the chorus, she repeats the phrase "I'm fallin' apart" multiple times, emphasizing just how much her heart is breaking. She admits that she can't get her lost love out of her mind, and that the pain is almost too much to bear. In the second verse, she says that she knows it's too late to regret what happened, but she wishes she could disappear and escape the pain. She realizes that she was blind to her lover's love and that he was the perfect guy. The rap in the middle of the song is from someone else's perspective. He's saying that the girl has caused his heart to break, and he's never felt so lost and soft in his life. He's confused, and he doesn't know how to get over her. The song ends with K. Michelle singing about waiting to see her lover again, hoping that he'll come back home to her so that she can stop falling apart.
