Fall To Pieces
Nick Black Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is my best defense,
Drowning in my ignorance...
I need a reason to get up and carry on
No time to make a sound,
This is another breakdown...
And now I'm waiting
For your lie to be the truth...
Your lie to be the truth

(CHORUS:)
Got nothing left to lose,
Got nothing left to prove...
But every time I fall to pieces
Got nothing left to learn,
Got nothing left to burn...
But every time I fall to pieces

Fall to pieces

I'm starting to resent
This lack of confidence...
Is this the season to give up or carry on?
I've fallen to the ground,
Too many times to count...
And now I'm waiting
For your lie to be the truth...
Your lie to be the truth





(CHORUS) (x2)

He describes his continued struggles and numerous failures, leading up to a repeated chorus that emphasizes his sense of helplessness and defeated spirit.
