As I Try Not To Fall Apart Lyrics
Am I a faulty kind of man so tender in the heart?
Are clues embedded in my hands, a horoscope of cards?
No, I'm no special grain of sand or undiscovered star
If there's a great and holy plan I'd rather have no part
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
You always unwind my head, unmake the bed like Sunday
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
You get me talking to the dead and questioning if I'm alive at all
Why every morning waking up
Must I try not to fall, must I try not to fall apart?
You take me in your grateful arms
And I try not to fall, oh I try not to fall apart
It's not the way a man like me behaves
It's not the way the world would have me play my part
Then why does every fiber shake
As I try not to fall apart, as I try not to fall apart?
Am I a lone, unlucky man, no shimmer to my soul?
Am I a spindle wound too tight, a fraction of a whole?
No, I have no party tricks, my hand is empty as a vault
If there's a charge, oh, then I'll stand an do the time for every fault
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
You always unwind my head, unmake the bed like Sunday
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
You get me talking to the dead and questioning if I'm alive at all
Why every morning waking up
Must I try not to fall, must I try not to fall apart?
You take me in your grateful arms
And I try not to fall, oh I try not to fall apart
It's not the way a man like me behaves
It's not the way the world would have me play my part
Then why does every fiber shake
As I try not to fall apart, as I try not to fall apart?
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
You always unwind my head and make the bed like Sunday
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
You get me talking to the dead and questioning if I'm alive at all
Why every morning waking up
Must I try not to fall, must I try not to fall apart?
You take me in your grateful arms
And I try not to fall, oh I try not to fall apart
It's not the way a man like me behaves
It's not the way the world would have me play my part
Then why does every fiber shake
As I try not to fall apart, as I try not to fall apart?
As I try not to fall apart
As I try not to fall apart
As I try not to fall apart
As I try not to fall apart
Are clues embedded in my hands, a horoscope of cards?
No, I'm no special grain of sand or undiscovered star
If there's a great and holy plan I'd rather have no part
You always unwind my head, unmake the bed like Sunday
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
You get me talking to the dead and questioning if I'm alive at all
Must I try not to fall, must I try not to fall apart?
You take me in your grateful arms
And I try not to fall, oh I try not to fall apart
It's not the way a man like me behaves
It's not the way the world would have me play my part
Then why does every fiber shake
As I try not to fall apart, as I try not to fall apart?
Am I a spindle wound too tight, a fraction of a whole?
No, I have no party tricks, my hand is empty as a vault
If there's a charge, oh, then I'll stand an do the time for every fault
You always unwind my head, unmake the bed like Sunday
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
You get me talking to the dead and questioning if I'm alive at all
Must I try not to fall, must I try not to fall apart?
You take me in your grateful arms
And I try not to fall, oh I try not to fall apart
It's not the way a man like me behaves
It's not the way the world would have me play my part
Then why does every fiber shake
As I try not to fall apart, as I try not to fall apart?
You always unwind my head and make the bed like Sunday
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
You get me talking to the dead and questioning if I'm alive at all
Must I try not to fall, must I try not to fall apart?
You take me in your grateful arms
And I try not to fall, oh I try not to fall apart
It's not the way a man like me behaves
It's not the way the world would have me play my part
Then why does every fiber shake
As I try not to fall apart, as I try not to fall apart?
As I try not to fall apart
As I try not to fall apart
As I try not to fall apart

The band themselves have said of this song; “It’s about accepting vulnerability as a man and knowing it’s OK to be broken. There’s never been a more pressing time to spread the message that it’s OK to not be OK.”
Lots of errors here. Heres the correct version:
