Falling Apart
On Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I knew this fit together too perfectly.
I struggled with some problems that were made by me.
I knew it was too good to be true.
So why am I not surprised it started with you?
Why are you so difficult?
I only wanted you there and no one else.
I'm getting tired of these moods.
And no, I don't follow you.
It all fell apart right in my hands,
And I'm waiting for you to change your mind again.
Though I'd like to be happy all the time.
Dave would like to think otherwise.
It wasn't about fun,




As it changed for the worst,
And you fought no one.

I am sleepless for a weekend
So I start to say goodbye
Say goodbye to all that we had
Say goodbye to what we lost
We don't talk
We're not enough
And the storms slowly arise
When the light turns
And the cold terms arise
And we were running out, through the storms, through the night
We were running in the dark, we were following our hearts
And we would fall down and we would slowly fall apart
We would slowly fall into the dark
The cold terms arise
And the cold terms arise
It is hard to let it all go
Let the past just disappear
Try to untie from an old life
But it always drags me down
We don't talk
We're not enough
And the storms slowly arise
When the light turns
And the cold terms arise
And we were running out, through the storms, through the night
We were running in the dark, we were following our hearts
And we would fall down and we would slowly fall apart
We would slowly fall into the dark
And we were running out, through the storms, through the night
We were running in the dark, we were following our hearts
And we would fall down and we would slowly fall apart
We would slowly fall into the dark
And we were running out, through the storms, through the night
We were running in the dark, we were following our hearts
And we would fall down and we would slowly fall apart
We would slowly fall into the dark
The cold terms arise
And the cold terms arise

This song...it relates to me very well..my best friend..we were so good..we used to call each other wifey,hubby. We used to have so much fun..so much love between us..so much plans for future..we used to say to each other, "u r my wife and I'm ur hubby, even if someday we get married to our future husbands, we will still be the same, if our husbands doesn't like it, then we will kick them to the moon together*

We were each other's heart..

She was my everything. Now I don't even know if her words were true or not. All things seems like lies..

Now we "slowly fell apart"

All things are now memories for me..

“Did you really want to die?"
"No one commits suicide because they want to die."
"Then why do they do it?"
"Because they want to stop the pain.”

So true. I never wanted to die because I didn't want to live anymore. I tried to kill myself because I wanted to end the pain.

Life keeps changing and could bring you so many positive things. You deserve to be happy. I send you all my strength and love. I hope you'll keep fighting for the happy and beautiful moments that await you someday. I wish you all the best <3
