Lyrics
I fall to piecesEach time I see you againI fall to piecesHow can I be just your friend?You want me to act like we’ve never kissedYou want me to forget (to forget)Pretend we’ve never met (never met)And I’ve tried and I’ve triedBut I haven’t yetYou walk by and I fall to piecesI fall to piecesEach time someone speaks your name (speaks your name)I fall to piecesTime only adds to the flameYou tell me to find someone else to loveSomeone who love me too (love me too)The way you used to do (used to do)But each time I go out with someone newYou walk by and I fall to piecesYou walk by and I fall to pieces
