Fall Apart
Sarah Connor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's hunting me
It's killing me
I can't explain what you've done to me
Under my skin
In every breath
What was so strong hast gone and left

Everybody wanna know what's happening to me
They wanna get inside my head
They think it's such a mystery
How can I explain what I got nothing left to hide
Because I'm wearing all my pain and
Now you're looking deep inside

Ya pick up the pieces when I fall apart
You know how to please it when you break my heart
Try to walk away but it's just too hard
So I fall back
Fall back baby
You pick up the pieces when I fall apart
Boy how you tease me when you break my heart
Knew how to play me from the very start
So I fall back
Fall back baby

What you gave
You can't get back
It's so engraved
And it's more than that
What can I do
I'm twisted up
And only you can fix it up

Everybody wanna know about our history
And how you got me in your spell
And you brought me to my knees
How can I ask explain
There's nothing left to understand
'Cause baby that's the way it goes
Between a woman and man

Ya pick up the pieces when I fall apart
You know how to please it when you break my heart
Try to walk away but it's just too hard
So I fall back
Fall back baby
You pick up the pieces when I fall apart
Boy how you tease me when you break my heart
Knew how to play me from the very start
So I fall back
Fall back baby
And I know inside of me
There's longing to be free
So I don't know why
I fall apart for you baby

Listen up boy
I got something to say
Maybe you got me lost
Maybe I'll find my way
Got no excuses
I'm on the right track
I know it ain't over
I ain't looking back

Ya pick up the pieces when I fall apart
You know how to please it when you break my heart
Try to walk away but it's just too hard
So I fall back
Fall back baby
You pick up the pieces when I fall apart
Boy how you tease me when you break my heart
Knew how to play me from the very start




So I fall back
Fall back baby
