I Fall To Pieces

Screeching Weasel · Kill The Musicians [1995]

I fall to pieces

Each time I see you again

I fall to pieces

How can I be just your 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

I fall to pieces

Each time someone speaks your name

I fall to pieces

Each time someone speaks your name

You tell me to find someone else 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
