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.
