Falling Apart
Unraveling Emotions: Martine McCutcheon's 'Falling Apart' Revealed
Lyrics
There's something I want to say
Expressing a desire to communicate something.
Don't want it locked up inside forever
Doesn't want to keep thoughts or emotions hidden indefinitely.
This feeling won't go away
A persistent emotion that remains despite efforts.
Don't want to live in the never-never
Doesn't want to exist in a perpetual state of uncertainty or mediocrity.
And so I've written these words
Choosing to express thoughts in written form for public view.
For all the world to see
Intending for the whole world to have access to these words.
What is it that you're scared of?
Questioning the source of fear or hesitation.
Is it you?
Posing whether the fear is internal.
Or is it me?
Wondering if the fear relates to the other person.
And you make me feel like I'm falling apart
Feeling emotionally disintegrating due to the other's impact.
And I'm losing control of my mind and my heart
Sense of losing command over emotions and thoughts.
So am I wasting my time?
Uncertainty if investing time is worthwhile.
Is there a chance you could really want me?
Questioning the potential reciprocation of feelings.
So baby, give me a sign
Requesting a clear indication of interest or disinterest.
If you don't want me, I've got to know
Need for clarity regarding the other's feelings.
And so I've written these words
Reiteration of sharing thoughts openly.
For all the world to see
Desire for a widespread audience to comprehend these words.
What is it that you're scared of?
Repeating the inquiry about the root of fear.
Is it you?
Suspecting the fear could belong to the person addressed.
Or is it me?
Considering whether the fear could pertain to oneself.
And you make me feel like I'm falling apart
Reiterating the feeling of emotional disintegration.
And I'm losing control of my mind and my heart
Continued loss of control over emotions and thoughts.
You could hold me in your arms 'til the break of dawn
Suggesting a desire for intimacy until morning.
Cause I'm losing control of my mind and my heart
Repeating the struggle with emotional control.
And you make me feel like I'm falling apart
Emphasizing the impact of feeling emotionally fragmented.
And I'm losing control of my mind and my heart
Continued struggle with emotional and mental stability.
You could hold me in your arms 'til the break of dawn
Reiterating the desire for intimate closeness.
Cause I'm losing control of my mind and my heart
Continued lack of control over thoughts and emotions.
Of my mind, and my heart
Highlighting the loss of control over both mind and heart.
Of my mind, and my heart
Repeating the sentiment of losing control over thoughts and emotions.
