Lyrics for Falls Apart as interpreted by oofus

Falls Apart Lyrics
She falls apart by herself
no one's there to talk or understand
feels the sting dries her eyes
finds herself opens the door and sighs
people see right through you
everyone who knew you well
falls apart, might as well
day is long and nothing is wasted
runaway, runaway
wanna hold on to you but you're going away
runaway, runaway
wanna hold you tomorrow but you're leaving today
you walk along by yourself
there's no sound nothing's changing
they've gone away left you there
emptiness is nothing you can share
all those words that hurt you
more than you will let it show
comes apart by yourself
all is well and everything's wasted
runaway, runaway
wanna hold on to you but you're going away
runaway, runaway
wanna hold you tomorrow but you're leaving today
sometimes I feel around
it scares me some I can't be down
all this time to be on my own
in is out to be again
this time will waste another friend
I know where they will know
where they'll runaway
she's falls apart no one there
hold her hand it seems to disappear
falls apart might as well
day is long and nothing is wasted
runaway, runaway
wanna hold on to you but you're going away
runaway, runaway
wanna hold you tomorrow but you're leaving today
runaway runaway
hold on to you but you're going away
but you're leaving today
but you're leaving today

I just think this some is about someone going through rough times. Where you feel like you have no one you can tell, because no one will understand... "feels sustained, dries her eyes, finds herself, opens the door and sighs, people see right through you, every one who knew you well, falls apart.." It basically feeling like no one understands your problems....think of it in regards to this quote...."My problems are mine and I am the only man alive who can sustain them"...the concept of being misunderstood.

I think this song is from a guys point of view on a depressed girls life. "She falls apart by herself" someone who fakes a smile by when they say "no one there" and i think itys about how people are realizing it and that she can't it anymore

this song is about the love the person has for this one girl. She's depressed and wants to just die, but the person cares for her. They want to be there for them, even though she is very depressed. It's a very good song

been in love w/this song forever. I think this guy sees that this girl has nowhere to turn. She feels abandoned(comes apart by yourself), with no one to share her feelings and problems with(no one's there to talk or understand). The only way out she sees is to leave all her problems. He has feelings and empathy for her, but doesn't know how-or doesn't have the courage- to reach out to her.

The actual meaning of this song is, well, meaningless to anyone other than Mark McGrath himself. What you interpret the song as is what it means. What the song means to you, personally, is the real meaning. That's the beauty of any art form; the multiple ways it can be interpreted, or, in this case, the the multiple situations that its listeners can put it into and say "Hey, this song's about me!" So...to somthin clever, you're the one who's "really wrong". As for the song...it kicks ass. Peace!

This is my favorite Sugar Ray song. For me what it means is like a lot of you said. This girl and guy fall in love, and this girl falls into a sort of depression, and this guy is trying to do all he can because he knows. Possibly she's verbally abused by a parent (all those words that hurt you, more than you will let it show). Like "Everyone sees right through you" like, everyone in her life knows the happiness is fake or she's being fake, and he's the only one who knows the real her. Like about her hand disappearing and such, he feels he's loosing her, but isn't sure what to do because in a sense he's feeling lonely, but isn't sure what to do because she won't open up enough to him. I don't know...*kinda* reminds me of myself in a way and my ex...

First of all, the 3rd line is "Feels a sting" not "Feels sustained", I looked on the Sugar Ray site. I love this song so much because when I'm down and sad I just listen to this song over and over again and just start crying. This song is about a girl that is hurt and has no one to turn to, and she feels that she just wants to run away from it all.

To me, this song means 8th grade. I hated everything, and I had this song on tape (way back when it was cool to record stuff off the radio) and I'd sit on my bed in the dark and listen to it and cry. I remember at that time I was just falling apart, and I could hear those words and understand exactly what they meant.

yeh i always thort it was 'feels the sting.. dries her eyes'
cos she feels that pang of hurt that we all feel...(the sting)
i love this song... its so sad
its about (i believe) a girl who hides her real emotions and pretty much breaks down when she gets alone
only the people who knew her well.... could see the real ehr
but they all went away and "left you there"
its an extremely sad song
my fave. line is "hold her hand it seems to disappear"

this song is, in my opinion really cute and romantic... is like holding to tight to the person you love that when it comes the time to let him/her go it will hurt so badly! the best line is "Runaway, runaway, wanna hold you tomorrow, but you're leaving today." Is like asking for ONE more day of being with you're special person! ONE more day... so you at least have the oportunity to hold him/her one more time.
there's another meaning also... that this girl was left alone, all the people she believed in turned her back on her... so she is empty and sad, and this guy wants to help her.
"Emptiness is nothing you can share"... that line is so true and beautiful.
Mavriks I agree with you!

Mark said at a concert that it's about a lonely girl in high school. He said it was kinda different for them. The song really hit me when I heard it live, because I can relate to a lot of the lyrics.

is there any possible way to change the lyrics? because that is impossible to read...fortunately for me, i already know all the lyrics *grin*

this song is like my theme song. or one of them (i have several). it's just very close to how i feel. "Falls apart, by herself."

it's definitely my favorite sugar ray song. it's the one that seems to be the most serious and with the most meaning.

This song totally mirrors my life. I try to be normal around people but I can't I'm just fucken retarded in comparison to everyone. Then I'm also a lonely twenty something girl so yeah this song can tell alot except no one's singing to me...
At least I'm trying to do something w/ my life, I'm not gonna pity myself and wonder what things could have been if I was on the inside...Like anyone gives a hoopla, at least you know what its like...

GrungyBeatle- I'm also a 20 something girl and feel the same way you do... and it sucks. When this song came in back when I was in high school, I was just like, yeah- that's exactly how I feel! I felt really lonely and empty at times back then and I do now too... but anyway I think what has been said already pretty much nails it. Lonely, depressed girl who thinks nothing ever works out.

cause it sucks to be alone! whenever i try my best to establish a friendship or fuck it wont even get into a relationship, and i end up getting rejected!
im a reject, its a pattern in my life and its time i learn to cope with shit that comes my way. at least i have about one good friend that shares the same faith i have. so at least i have my family loves me too in their own dysfunctional but loving way.
i guess it just pisses me off when people arent honest with you and you get all happy that you met someone and they end up leaving you empty...
thats your answer biso, thanks for caring to ask...

To me, this song is about being depressed and not having anyone there. For one reason or another, there's no one there who you can talk to about it, so you just suffer silently and put on a fake smile. People are either too busy to notice the subtle signs asking for help, or they don't know how to respond and pretend nothing is wrong.

"Emptiness is nothing you can share"
