I Will Fall
nashville Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm afraid to go up to the second floor
If you wanted to work it out why'd you lock the door
I thought I was good at lovin' you
But our light went out when you wanted it to
I wish you the best, I'm headed west
It's all I know to do

I will fall, I will fall if you come around
Just when I think my heart break has settled down
I will fall, I will fall if you come around

When we said goodbye it was forever
And I spent the last year piecing my life together
Just when I think I've let you go
Your song's playing on the radio
And just like that it rushes back
Every part of you

I will fall, I will fall if you come around
Just when I think my heart break has settled down
I will fall, I will fall if you come around

I will fall, I will fall if you come around
Just when I think my heart break has settled down
I will fall, I will fall if you come around





I will fall, I will fall if you come around

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nashville Cast's "I Will Fall" tell a story of someone who is struggling with the aftermath of a relationship ending. The singer is filled with fear and uncertainty, afraid to even go up to the second floor of a building. The reason for this fear is unknown, but it's clear that the singer is still processing the breakup and trying to come to terms with what went wrong.


The line "If you wanted to work it out why'd you lock the door" suggests that the breakup wasn't entirely the singer's choice. It seems that the other person in the relationship decided to call it quits, leaving the singer to deal with the aftermath alone. Despite feeling like they were good at loving the other person, the "light went out" when the other person left.


The chorus of the song is the most memorable aspect of "I Will Fall." The singer admits that they will "fall" if the other person comes around again. They can't seem to fully heal or move on, as any reminder of the past sends them spiralling back into heartbreak. Even when they believe they've let go, a song on the radio can bring back all the emotions they thought they had buried.


Overall, "I Will Fall" is a poignant song about the messiness of heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on. The lyrics expertly capture the mix of fear, sadness, and longing that comes with a breakup.

I feel scared to move forward in our relationship


If you wanted to work it out why'd you lock the door
Why did you close the door on our relationship when there was still a chance to fix it?


I thought I was good at lovin' you
I believed I was capable of loving you deeply


But our light went out when you wanted it to
Our relationship ended because you chose to let it die

My heart will always have a weakness for you, and I will fall for you every time

They can NOT go wrong when they do a duet together!! Every song they do is PERFECTION!

Amira Newman

Yep, they definitely have THE best songs! Why aren't they on the radio?!

That's how I 'discovered' Clare & Sam, also. I heard "Fade Into You", and it took my breath away. I watch "Nashville" now just to hear these two incredibly talented actors/singers perform together. This kind of instant positive reaction doesn't happen to me often, either. They're the best on the show!

Ashlynne Baker

I just want them to make a cd already... They are why I watch Nashville!

Lind Cobbs

I love the songs they sing on Nashville, can't get enough of em, about time somebody put some sentiments back in true country music.

Oliver J Chin
