about

“When Love Falls Apart” is a mid tempo song that follows a more traditional pop ballad form of verse and chorus. The instrumentation is grand piano, double bass and a small string ensemble. The balance between major and minor tonalities nicely underpins the song’s subject of a relationship that has ended.

lyrics

When Love Falls Apart

We once shared a bed, a kitchen, a cup
But now I share loneliness when I wake up
The lines on your forehead, each one I know
the shape of your body, every inch head to toe
The party tricks that you used to perform
and every bad joke – I know them all

When love expires, when love falls apart
when you are just left with a broken heart
there is nothing that can soothe the pain
it's like starting your life from the beginning again
when a part of your history comes to an end
it’s when you lose – your very best friend

Now I am just left with the mem’ries we share
with heaps of photos, half a cup, half a chair
my life's packed in boxes – ready to go
heading for loneliness oh, heading out slow
When love falls apart there is no more to say
when love gives up on you – love goes away

When love expires, when love falls apart
when you are just left with –
with a broken heart
there is nothing that can soothe the pain
it's like starting your life from the beginning again
when a part of your history comes to an end
it’s when you lose – your very best friend

There is nothing that can soothe the pain
there is no one you can really blame
it's a part of your history that comes to an end
it’s when you lose – your very best friend

It’s when you lose – your very best friend
