Fall Apart Lyrics

Electrified, we burn all night
Paralyzed by black and white
But who are you, and who am I?
Electrified, we burn all night

I want you to fall apart like I did
You to hurt for all of this
All the pain you put me through
I wanna hear you say
"I don't deserve you."
Fall apart like I did
You to hurt for all of this
All the pain you put me through
I wanna hear you say
"I don't deserve you."
Fall apart

Terrified by waking eyes
The empty space you left behind
But who are you, and who I am?
Terrified by waking eyes

Oh oh oh, ohhh oh
Oh oh oh, ohhh oh

Electrified, we burn all night

A Story To Tell Your Friends

Tell Me I'm a Wreck

Days of the Old

Electrified, we burn all night
Paralyzed by black and white
But who are you, and who am I?
Electrified, we burn all night

Terrified by waking eyes
The empty space you left behind
But who are you, and who I am?
Terrified by waking eyes

Oh oh oh, ohhh oh
Oh oh oh, ohhh oh

Electrified, we burn all night

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The lyric "the empty space you left behind" in “Fall Apart” sums up this song. When a relationship ends, it rarely just “ends.” You get used to that person being there; you associate them with memories of different places [and] different songs, and those feelings can sometimes remain beyond a relationship finishing. It can really tear you down, especially when you are the one fighting to keep them, and they just don't see what they are doing to you–or what they have done to you. We sometimes hang on for too long, even though we know how much that person will hurt us, and it makes you want that person to go though the same hurt they caused you to see how it really feels.
