Things Fall Apart

Beneath the lies and petty disguise
A girl gives out silent cries
With her voice stripped away
And her heart to decay
She looks out from a stranger's eyes
And says for the last time, "Goodbye"

She's falling
Falling so fast
Falling so hard
This is what happens
When things fall apart

And alone she stands
With her bloodied hands
Torn and raw from a shattered soul
Feeling so lost in this bottomless hole
So she closes her eyes and lets the tears flow
Precious pearls dripping nice and slow

She's falling
Falling so fast
Falling so hard
This is what happens
When things fall apart

She wears her heart on her sleeve
Hoping to find someone who will never leave
Giving away all her love
Looking for an angel sent from above
But even with all this strain
She can't escape from this pain

She's falling
Falling so fast
Falling so hard
This is what happens
When things fall apart

She wants to forget about her past
She knows she's not gonna last
Yet no one sees past her mask
Ripping it off, an impossible task
So she traces her invisible scars
And listens to the broken songs of lonely guitars

She's falling
Falling so fast
Falling so hard
This is what happens
When things fall apart

And now she finally understands
Alone with her outstretched hands
No one to catch her as she falls
No one cares to hear her calls
She's drowning in her own demise
The light fading from her eyes

She's falling
Falling so fast
Falling so hard
This is what happens...
When she falls apart
