“I Fall to Pieces”

I fall to pieces
Each time I see you again
I fall to pieces
How can I be just a friend?

You want me to act like we’ve never kissed
You want me to forget
Pretend we never met
And I’ve tried, and I’ve tried, but I haven’t yet
You walk by, and I fall to pieces

[break]

I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only adds to the flame

My friends tell me find someone new 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
You walk by, and I fall to pieces
