I Fall to Pieces
LeAnn Rimes Lyrics

I fall to pieces
I become emotionally devastated and unable to cope

Each time I see you again
Whenever I come across you, this feeling recurs

How can I be just your friend?
It's impossible for me to maintain just a platonic relationship with you

You want me to act like we've never kissed
You expect me to act as if our romantic encounter never happened

You want me to forget
You expect me to erase that moment from my memory entirely

Pretend we've never met
Act as if our paths never crossed before

And I've tried and I've tried but I haven't yet
I have made several attempts to move on but haven't been successful

You walk by and I fall to pieces
The mere sight of you has a crushing emotional effect on me

Each time someone speaks your name
Hearing your name alone is enough to trigger this emotional reaction

Time only acts to the flame
As time passes by, this emotional wound only grows deeper

You tell me to find someone else to love
You advise me to move on and find someone else

Someone who'll love me to
Someone who can reciprocate the love and affection I seek

The way you used to do
The way you used to love me and care for me

But each time I go out with someone new
Despite my attempts to move on, whenever I date someone else

You walk by and I fall to pieces
Your mere presence disrupts my efforts to move on and resurfaces old emotions
