I'll probably never see you eye to eye again This letter's meant to be my last farewell But you need to under-stand I'm nearly crazy You need to know my life has gone to hell Write me back and tell me why it ended Send a letter that I can show my heart I'll be somewhere between "I love you" and what you're feeling now Lookin' for a place to fall apart Looking for a place to fall apart Trying to find a place that I can leave my heart I need to be somewhere hidin' when I feel the teardrops start Lookin' for a place to fall a-part I can't seem to justify your leavin' me I'm be-wildered as to how it all came down I thought everything was fine until your phone call The call that turned my world around Send me word and tell me why it ended I need some final proof to show my heart I'll be somewhere between "I love you" and what you're feelin' now (I love you) Lookin' for a place to fall apart Looking for a place to fall apart Trying to find a place that I can leave my heart I need to be somewhere hidin' when I feel the teardrops start Lookin' for a place to fall a-part Looking for a place to fall apart Trying to find a place that I can leave my heart I need to be somewhere hidin' when I feel the teardrops start Lookin' for a place to fall a-part
