I Fall Apart Songtext / Lyric

I Fall Apart

music by Elton John . lyrics by Taupin
album Leather Jackets 1986


without you
I no longer swim upstream
where are you when I try to fill
the spaces in between

the red letter days
and all the pain
while I remain shipwrecked
everything has changed

and I fall apart
with this threat of indecision
hanging in my heart
this house can get so lonely
when the day grows dark
and it seems to be the nighttime
when I fall apart

can't you tell the shadows
no longer comfort me
I don't feel the need to cling to
anyone I see

this fool's suffered gladly
each and every day
I don't wish to reconsider
I wish they'd stay away

and I fall apart
with this threat of indecision
hanging in my heart
this house can get so lonely
when the day grows dark
and it seems to be the nighttime
when I fall apart

I've got no care to count
the stares that pity me
I'll wash your hurt away
just you'll wait and see
for every rose he gives her
I'll give her three
but in the meantime I just wish
that she was me

oh I fall apart
I fall apart
this house can get so lonely
when the day grows dark
and it seems to be the nighttime
when I fall apart
