Fall Apart
Made in Japan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do you always feign emotion?
You think that I can't tell it's over
Your walls are up again and I'm climbing
And maybe you think that I can't sense we're falling

So you just go and leave me in this moment
You just go
What's in your mind what's in your heart
I never met you
I never thought we'd fall apart

You leave me out in the cold again
And I wish I could say that it's never happened to me before
Now and then I wish that we could just pretend
It's okay
But I know that it isn't so why let this go on

So you just go and leave me in this moment
You just go
What's in your mind what's in your heart




I never met you
I never thought we'd fall apart
