Story Behind The Song

Hearing an old boyfriend's name caused a physical and emotional reaction in me. It was a bad breakup. I took it one step further into fiction, by having the person still working toward making the object of her affection love her.

Song Description

The love is not being returned, but the person is not giving up.

Lyrics

FALL TO PIECES
by A. Kismet Lyles

CHORUS
Oh baby, I fall to pieces, when I hear your name
Your love felt like I indulge in a field of sugar cane
All hyped up then I crash and burn into a ball of flames
As I fall to pieces

VERSE 1
Your voice excites and soothes
Your words mend the breaks in my heart
Often wondered what it be like
If you felt the same way too
Well, I've sampled my share
I wanna' come back prepared
Because losing control
Is draining my soul

CHORUS 2
Oh baby, I fall (yes I fall, yes I fall) to pieces
When I hear your name
Your love felt like I indulge (in a field, in a field) in a field of sugar cane
All hyped up then I crash (yes I crash, yes I burn) and burn into a ball of flames
As I fall (as I fall, as I fall) to pieces


VERSE 2
As precious as time may be
Patient pays off when loving me
Temporarily caught off guard
All my senses rocked and jarred
Well eventually, I get back my equilibrium
Determined you see to conquer the parts of your sum

CHORUS 2

BRIDGE
You may not bring out the best
The best in me
But from the ordinary
I want to flee
Within this moment love may be true
Consumed by the thought of you

CHORUS 2

CODA
Oh baby I fall
Oh baby I fall
Oh baby I fall
Oh baby I fall
