Sometimes Things Just Fall Apart
rence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you'll never know
How they'll go
I've been running out of luck
Yesterday was twenty-one
All my days blend into one
But the sun is where it always was
Just to get on stage and sing them wrong?
Is my happy ever after gone
Or was I really happy all along?
Well, sometimes things just fall apart
And you'll never know
How they'll go
Broken dreams on boulevards
Doesn't mean you're alone
Sometimes things just fall apart
And you'll never know
How they'll go
Broken dreams on boulevards
Doesn't mean you're alone
You say you been down in the dumps
Seems like you're just waiting for something, someone
Someone else to say you're numb
Someone who can stop you from coming undone
I've been right where you are before
Face-down, like I'm glued to the floor
They ask what you're doing it for
It's okay if you're still not sure
Well, sometimes things just fall apart
And you'll never know
How they'll go
Broken dreams on boulevards
Doesn't mean you're alone
Sometimes things just fall apart
And you'll never know
How they'll go
Broken dreams on boulevards
Doesn't mean you're alone
Sometimes things just fall apart
And you'll never know
How they'll go
Broken dreams on boulevards
Doesn't mean you're alone

Well, sometimes things just fall apart

Did I spend my life just writing songs
Just to get on stage and sing them wrong?
Is my happy ever after gone
Or was I really happy all along?
Well, sometimes things just fall apart

How they'll go
Broken dreams on boulevards
Doesn't mean you're alone
Sometimes things just fall apart

How they'll go
Broken dreams on boulevards
Doesn't mean you're alone
You say you been down in the dumps
Seems like you're just waiting for something, someone
Someone else to say you're numb
Someone who can stop you from coming undone

Broken dreams on boulevards
Doesn't mean you're alone
Sometimes things just fall apart
