Falling Apart
Nathan Feuerstein Lyrics

Let's talk about it
And you swear that you'll always
When I look in those eyes, I can tell you're lying
All those tears that you cry
Why do you keep denying
You say that you care but I know you're lying
There'll be no sympathizing
I act like I'm fine, but you're antagonizing
My heart is falling apart
We lay in my bed, so irritated
All the things that we said
Yeah, it's so frustrating
Who am I to tell you that you're not perfect
It's just that I thought that you were a different person
We smile and pretend like nothing matters
When in fact, in the end, it just makes us madder
And you say that you care but I know you're lying
Please spare me the tears
There'll be no sympathizing
I act like I'm fine, but you're antagonizing
My heart is falling apart
I look at you now
Yeah what I used to see
Is breaking me down
Still beautiful as ever
Yeah I feel no unity
Usually, I just feel you're using me
You're telling me you love me, yeah,
From your lips to your mouth
But honestly, honesty isn't what I think is coming out
Seems the people you love the most
You pretend that you care but really it don't bother you
Wonder if you will when I decide to say goodbye to you
I'm trying to fix that, what you think I'm trying to do
I've had enough of it
My heart, you ain't touching it
You say you're in love with it
But really, you're crushing it
I don't hate you, I'm just trying to understand how you feel
There's no point of continuing it knowing it ain't real
You say that you care but I know you're lying
Please spare me the tears
There'll be no sympathizing
I act like I'm fine, but you're antagonizing
My heart is falling apart
You say that you care
Please spare me the tears
I act like I'm fine
My heart is falling apart
The song “Falling Apart” by Nathan Feuerstein (also known as NF) talks about a relationship that seems to be crumbling apart. The song starts with the singer describing how his partner tells him that they love him, but he questions their honesty as he can see through their lies. He expresses how their tears and denial are not convincing enough and how he does not want their sympathy. The singer further reveals how they lay in bed and argue about issues that frustrate them. He notes how he thought his partner was a different person, but now, he sees them differently. The song's chorus repeats how he knows his partner is lying about caring and how his heart is falling apart.
The second verse is more intense, as the singer expresses his disappointment in his partner and how they are breaking him down. He mentions how he does not feel any unity with them, but instead, he feels used. His partner tells him that they love him, but he does not believe it because they are not honest. The singer talks about how he is trying to fix the relationship, but it seems like it is not working. He realizes that his partner is crushing his heart and pretending to care but not bothered. He cannot keep up the relationship since it is not real.

You say that you love me
You claim to love me
Let's talk about it
We need to have an honest conversation about our relationship
And you swear that you'll always
You make promises to me
When I look in those eyes, I can tell you're lying
Your eyes betray your deceptive words
All those tears that you cry
Your tears do not move me
Why do you keep denying
Why do you continue to deny your true feelings?
Please spare me the tears
Do not cry in front of me to gain my sympathy
There'll be no sympathizing
I won't give in to your emotional manipulation
I act like I'm fine, but you're antagonizing
I'm pretending everything is alright, but your behavior is making things worse
My heart is falling apart
My emotional state is deteriorating
We lay in my bed, so irritated
We are in bed, annoyed by each other's company
All the things that we said
Our conversations are frustrating and unproductive
Yeah, it's so frustrating
Our entire relationship is frustrating
Who am I to tell you that you're not perfect
I cannot judge you for not living up to my standards
It's just that I thought that you were a different person
I had higher expectations for you
We smile and pretend like nothing matters
We pretend that our issues do not exist
When in fact, in the end, it just makes us madder
Our avoidance only worsens our frustration
I look at you now
I observe you in your current state
Yeah what I used to see
What I admired in you before
Is breaking me down
Is causing me distress
Still beautiful as ever
You are still physically attractive
Yeah I feel no unity
I don't feel a connection between us
Usually, I just feel you're using me
I often feel like you are taking advantage of me
You're telling me you love me, yeah,
You claim to love me
From your lips to your mouth
From your words to your actions
But honestly, honesty isn't what I think is coming out
I believe your actions contradict your words
Seems the people you love the most
The people you love the greatest
You pretend that you care but really it don't bother you
You feign care but are actually indifferent
Wonder if you will when I decide to say goodbye to you
I wonder if you will feel remorse when I choose to end our relationship
I'm trying to fix that, what you think I'm trying to do
I'm attempting to mend our relationship
I've had enough of it
I am tired of this situation
My heart, you ain't touching it
You no longer have an emotional impact on me
You say you're in love with it
You claim to love me deeply
But really, you're crushing it
Your actions are breaking my heart
I don't hate you, I'm just trying to understand how you feel
I don't have ill-will towards you, I am attempting to comprehend your thoughts and emotions
There's no point of continuing it knowing it ain't real
It's pointless to continue our relationship because our love is not genuine
