I Fall to Pieces Lyrics
I fall to pieces
Each time I see you again
I fall to pieces
How can I be just your friend
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget, pretend we've never met
And I've tried and I've tried but I haven't yet
You walk by, and I fall to pieces
I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only adds to the flame
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me, too, the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces
(I fall to pieces)
Each time someone speaks your name
(I fall to pieces)
Time only adds to the flame
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me too, the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces
Each time I see you again
I fall to pieces
How can I be just your friend
You want me to forget, pretend we've never met
And I've tried and I've tried but I haven't yet
You walk by, and I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only adds to the flame
Someone who'll love me, too, the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
(I fall to pieces)
Time only adds to the flame
Someone who'll love me too, the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces

After a breakup, I listen to Patsy.
Who doesn't? It's cool how she starts out on that long note and brings it around. No one could ever sing it like Patsy. :)

why hasn't anyone commented? anyway, this is one of her best songs. so sad and haunting, about not being able to forget about an ex basically, right after you broke up, seems like the ex cheated or didnt really love her.
sucks for her, she keeps trying to forget the guy, but he walks by, and she has to start all over again. At least she's trying.
This song is awesome. I think Crazy is her best song!
This song is obviously about unrequited love.
I fall to pieces Each time I see you again I fall to pieces How can I be just your friend
She's heartbroken everytime she sees him so her wound opens up. He probably told her "Let's be friends, we're not good as lovers". Hinting that maybe they gave it a try and it didn't work out for him.
You want me to act like we've never kissed You want me to forget, pretend we've never met And I've tried and I've tried but I haven't yet You walk by, and I fall to pieces
Again hinting at the fact that they had a "romance" once probably not a relationship but assuming she thought it was going to be one.
You tell me to find someone else to love Someone who'll love me, too, the way you used to do But each time I go out with someone new You walk by and I fall to pieces
He wants her to occupy her thoughts elsewhere and on someone else. He may have just told her he loved her because that's what she wanted to hear.
Like I said unrequited love.
@Ericawithac Unrequited love? mmm-kay But it is obviously MORE than that.

This is additionally FORBIDDEN LOVE.
The protagonist... most would say Patsy Cline is the protagonist... but she did not write it.
Sings that the antagonist... the person she falls to pieces over... doesn't want anyone to know that they have ever kissed... but what is the harm in knowing they have kissed unless it is FORBIDDEN LOVE.
If they had just hooked up 1 time or a couple times or if they had courted/dated etc... then WHY should the antagonist care that people know they had kissed?

So JUST...
So JUST KISSING is a SCANDAL in this story for the antagonist... and the protagonist complies to also avoid the SCANDAL.
Is the antagonist MARRIED and if so... he or she has obviously been MARRIED since BEFORE the 2 lovers ever met... and this has been ADULTERY. OR maybe the antagonist is ENGAGED to be married.
Is this a GAY AFFAIR? The song was written by 2 Men.
Is this a case of MISCEGENY? An Interracial Scandal... Intertribal Scandal? Is this a case of INCEST? Sometimes people really LOVE their family.
Is this the Maid or the Chauffer having an Affair with the Lord or Lady of the House?
All we know for certain from these Lyrics is that this love is FORBIDDEN.
So prescient...
