Falling Apart Fast

{subtle vinyl static crackle} {single fingerpicked acoustic guitar intro} {plaintive and fragile

male vocal} Is it too late to say

I didn't mean

to break it?

Rain on the concrete,

Friday afternoon

I watched you walk away

beneath a gray monsoon

Fifteen years of thinking

I was smart and strong

But I burned our bridge and built it all wrong

(yeah, I built it all wrong) And I tore it down,

I tore us down

Leaving pieces of our youth all over this town

Just a stupid mistake,

a reckless line

Now you're no longer mine (oh no,

no longer mine) Saw you in the corridor,

looking at your shoes

I wanted to scream out,

but I had to lose

My pride in the mud,

your locker slammed shut

Every text I draft is just another cut And I tore it

down,

I tore us down

Leaving pieces of our youth all over this town

Just a stupid mistake,

a reckless line

Now you're no longer mine (oh no,

no longer mine)

{drums drop out} {distorted electric guitar swells in background} I was childish,

I was blind

Left the best of me behind (why did I do it?)

Now the silence is so loud

{acoustic guitar fades out} {ambient rain sound effect} Just a fifteen-year-old fool

Standing in the rain outside the school (humm)

No longer mine...
