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
K. Michelle's song Fallin depicts the feeling of heartbreak and the pain of losing someone. The lyrics convey a sense of emptiness and loneliness that one feels when a significant person in their life is no longer around. The opening lines, "Feels like I'm fallin' fallin' fallin'/Feels like I'm broken broken broken" indicate the heavy feeling in one's chest when they lose someone they love. The chorus repeats the feeling of falling and being broken, which conveys how heavy the singer's heart is. She elaborates on her feelings of heartbreak by singing, "Sun don't even shine I don't wanna go outside/Feels like I'm dyin', dyin', dyin'."
The singer acknowledges that people around her tell her that she will be okay and that she doesn't need the person who hurt her. However, she understands that the people around her don't genuinely understand her pain. "They don't know this pain, never felt the same," she sings. This line is relatable and can resonate with anyone who has gone through heartbreak. The singer highlights the struggle of moving on, the fear of starting again, and the feeling of hopelessness perpetuated by the memories of the person they have lost. The emotional weight conveyed in the song is heightened by the singer's excellent vocal rendition; it’s a compelling and powerful performance that carries the emotional weight of the lyrics.
