Last Halloween when the devil grinned The tattoos on your face covered up your skin Scarred from the sin and those sleepless nights Trying to find a fight you can't win So you chased him, traded that good life Only got yourself another good night Until the morning darling When you're right back to Falling apart, falling apart, you know you're falling apart Just another little lonely broken heart How did you get so cold (You'll never know, you 'll never know, you'll never know) How did you get so cold Life is short and you're no longer young enough To throw around your body for a little fun Put another photo, spend my cash Put another photo, have a blast Now it's gone and I'm dark and your heart is still crawling It heals, since you kneel And at baggage claim bawling til the morning darling And you're right back to Falling apart, falling apart, you know you're falling apart Just another little lonely broken heart How did you get so cold (You'll never know, you'll never know, you'll never know) How did you get so cold You slip away into the morning sun When he touches your face and your day's begun I know you hate yourself for what, what you've done So you push it away, it's getting harder to run When you run so fast and you run so long And it's all your fault cause you were never strong It's not much of a life though darling It's not much of a life (life) (When you're) Falling apart, falling apart, you know you're falling apart Just another little lonely broken heart How did you get so cold How did you get so cold (When you're) Falling apart, falling apart, you know you're falling apart Just another little lonely broken heart How did you get so cold (You'll never know, you'll never know, you'll never know) How did you get so cold Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh oh You never been nothing, baby You never been nothing, baby Falling apart, falling apart, you know you're falling apart Just another little lonely broken heart How did you get so cold How did you get so cold Falling apart, falling apart, you know you're falling apart Just another little lonely broken heart How did you get so cold How did you get so cold

Well, I'm pretty gone. What a charming coincidence, That I go out, And you still Go out. I wrote a song where we act like adults. Oh well It's never changed; Let's keep on keeping on. Baby dont ever change. (I'm tired, as long as it's the same...) It takes some fucking guts to stay the same, (...I cannot stay with you.) You've seen mine, So pull the knife. You've got your proof, (I can not stay with you) I'm doing fine. (I skip too fast away.) This was fun. I'm gonna go and get sewn up. (I do not fall.) Get sewn up and keep on moving on. I cannot stay with you. I cannot stay with you. I run too fast away. I run too fast away. (Keep on moving on.) I do not fall I do not fall I dance too fast away I do not fall. I do not fall.

Hey, where did I go wrong? Because I don't wanna stop before the dawn Say goodbye before you leave Say goodbye before you leave Say goodbye before you leave Did it ever occur that you forgave yourself before I did? Did it ever occur that you forgave yourself before I could? So I'm not cool with you I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, I'm running I run, I run, I run, I'm running And it was so magnificent When we had it all Before it seemed to slowly go wrong And now I don't wanna go on, go on, on And how can I forgive you when I don't have the space to I'm a fool of past regrets Where did you leave, know you already left X4 And did it ever occur that you forgave yourself before I did? Did it ever occur that you forgave yourself before I could?
