I Will Fall
Sam Palladio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You will never see me cry
I'll smile and say I'm good
But I would fall apart if I could
I'm inside out, shot through the center
Feel the scar of where you entered
Took my life and turned it upside down
If anyone asks it hurt just a little
I died inside the day I let you go
But I will never let you know
All this time the sky was lying
They say that the moon don't shine
It's just the light from a star
Well maybe that's the way we are
I'm inside out, shot through the center
Feel the scar of where you entered
Took my life and turned it upside down
I'm burned to ashes, split down the middle
If anyone asks it hurt just a little
I died inside the day I let you go
But I will never let you know
I'm burned to ashes, split down the middle
If anyone asks it hurt just a little
I died inside the day I let you go
But I don't wanna let you
I cannot forget you
I will never let you know
The song I Will Fall by Sam Palladio is about the vulnerability and longing that one can feel after a breakup.
