Falling Apart – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

What happened to me

I used to be so strong

I can remember

I used to stand up tall

I used to have dreams

So many dreams

Now I don't dream at all

I used to believe in everything

'Til I was proven wrong

Lovers will desert you

Failure will destroy you

How are we to get through

Without falling apart?

Where did the time go

I used to be so young

The years go by faster

The older I become

I used to have dreams

So many dreams

Where are they now?

I thought that I would reach the stars

'Til I fell down, down

Lovers will desert you

Failure will destroy you

How are we to get through

Without falling apart?

I'm falling apart
