RIMES LEANN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Each time I see you again
I fall to pieces
How can I be just your friend?
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget
Pretend we've never met
You walk by and I fall to pieces
I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only acts to the flame
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me to
The way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces
You walk by and I fall to pieces
LeAnn Rimes’ “I Fall to Pieces” is a song about the pain of unrequited love. The singer is lamenting the fact that she cannot turn off her emotions for someone who only wants to be friends. The lyrics convey the sense of heartbreak that the singer feels each time she sees the object of her affection. The song is marked by a sense of longing and sadness, as the singer tries to come to terms with the difficult situation she finds herself in.
The lyrics convey a sense of helplessness as the singer tries and fails to move on from the person she loves. The line, “You want me to act like we've never kissed,” conveys a sense of frustration felt by the singer, who is being asked to pretend that nothing ever happened between them. The chorus, “I fall to pieces / Each time I see you again,” is a testament to the power of the person who holds the singer’s heart.
The second verse of the song continues to paint a picture of a person in despair. The line, “Each time someone speaks your name,” highlights the omnipresence of the person the singer loves. The line, “Time only acts to the flame,” is a powerful metaphor that conveys the idea that each passing day only serves to intensify the singer’s feelings. The song ends with the repeated refrain, “You walk by and I fall to pieces,” serving as a reminder of the singer’s inability to move forward.

Curt Brennan : Woman*. Could we use *woman instead of “gal”? And don’t worry about the inbred rejects from hell and their thumbs. That’s probably the only time they ever take it out of their mouths.
