I have always wondered why it is a lot easier to write sad songs than happy ones. I had another example last week-end: as I went probably through one of the worst times of my entire life (don't ask), 2 different songs seemed to compete in my head.
The first one (A LOVE) LIKE AN OCEAN will have to wait for better days. The second one FALLING APART has been haunting me for a week since I came back from Thailand. Here are the complete lyrics:
FALLING APART (BARON ZERO)
Why can’t you see brother that I’m falling apart / Underneath the silence where I've chosen to hide / I'm like a drowning man caught in a rising tide / I've been living my life like I'm playing a part / And I'm falling apart
Why can't you see mother that I'm falling apart / So short of all the dreams that you saw in your child / Despite all the promises however hard I've tried / Maybe you will agree your son was not so smart / And I'm falling apart
Why can't you see my love that I'm feeling apart / Pretending to be free when you're not by my side / After the pain is gone, nothing's left to subside / Only the emptyness eating away my heart / And I'm falling apart
Why can't you all just see that I'm falling apart?
I'm falling from grace / Falling flat on my face / Falling on harder times / Falling way out of line / Falling down on my knees / Falling far from the trees / Falling short of my dreams / Falling into the stream / Falling without a fight / And falling out of sight / Falling without a word / Or falling onto my sword / Falling badly behind / Slowly out of my mind / Falling down from above / And falling out of love
Falling just for a kiss / Falling just for a kiss / Falling just for a kiss / A few seconds of bliss
And I'm falling apart
But as for you my son you'll always be a part / Of every breath I take, each beating of my heart / And for you I decide to make a brand new start / To do the best I can / Reach for a helping hand / Hoping that in the end I'll stop falling apart
