Falling Away
Marion Raven Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

He comes to me
He comes to me and I'm already gone
He doesn't see
He doesn't see that we're hanging on

Blocking out the pieces of today
Trying to get back to yesterday

We're falling away
And there's nothing left but rain
No, there's nothing left here
All I hear is silence as I say
We're falling away
We're falling away
Falling Away

I go to him (I go to him)
I go to him and he's not really there
We can't begin (can't begin)
We can't begin to go anywhere

All is done, there's nothing left to say
Memories of his smile fade to grey

We're falling away
And there's nothing left but rain
No, there's nothing left here
All I hear is silence as I say
We're falling away

How can we care
When it's so clear
That we're not ending up
Where we're supposed to be

Just forget now
Let's forget somehow
Let's not regret all the things that we used to be

My eyes still blur
My eyes still blur from refusing to see
I'm just not sure (just not sure)
I'm just not sure we're meant to be

We're falling away
And there's nothing left but rain
No, there's nothing left here
All I hear is silence as I say
We're falling away
We're falling away

All I hear is silence as I say
We're falling away
Falling Away
Falling Away

Falling Away
Falling Away

Line by Line Meaning

He comes to me
He reaches out to me

He comes to me and I'm already gone
By the time he reaches out to me, I'm already gone

He doesn't see
He doesn't notice

He doesn't see that we're hanging on
He doesn't realize that we are still trying to hold onto our relationship

Blocking out the pieces of today
Ignoring the events of the present

Trying to get back to yesterday
Longing for the past

We're falling away
We are drifting apart

And there's nothing left but rain
All that is left is sorrow and sadness

No, there's nothing left here
There is nothing left of what we used to be

All I hear is silence as I say
When I try to express my feelings, I am met with silence

I go to him (I go to him)
I try to reach out to him (repeat)

I go to him and he's not really there
He is emotionally absent when I try to connect with him

We can't begin (can't begin)
We can't start again (repeat)

We can't begin to go anywhere
We can't seem to move forward

All is done, there's nothing left to say
Everything has been said and done, there are no more chances left

Memories of his smile fade to grey
The happy memories of our past together are slowly fading

How can we care
How can we still have feelings for each other

When it's so clear
When it's obvious

That we're not ending up
That our relationship is not going to last

Where we're supposed to be
Where we were meant to end up

Just forget now
Let's forget about our past

Let's forget somehow
Let's try to find a way to forget about our past

Let's not regret all the things that we used to be
Let's not feel remorseful about the way things used to be

My eyes still blur
My vision is still clouded

My eyes still blur from refusing to see
My vision is clouded because I have been in denial

I'm just not sure (just not sure)
I'm uncertain (repeat)

I'm just not sure we're meant to be
I'm unsure if we are meant to be together

Falling Away
Drifting apart
