(Verse 1)
There are thousands of ties
Wrapping around and around us
Everything
That holds us together
Is cemented in the roots of our hearts

But how could I have ever known
That they can easily snap
When strained with distance?
Oh how could I have never realized
That time always claims everything in the end
And all this time I've been living in denial
Living in my own trap

(Chorus)
We never planned this
We'd never thought that we'd be
Unraveling in front of our feet
We'd never thought the world could
Break our bonds
And question who we are
In just a matter of time
Because time seems to set afire our hearts
And force us to carry on
But moving on and picking up the pieces becomes so hard
When these things
Fall apart

(Verse 2)
The world is
Wasting in the palm of our hands
There’s nothing we can do
Everything we had
Oh everything we had ever dreamed
Has been flushed down where rivers bleed
And the ties securing our hearts together
Has been severed
Drowned by my own tears

All the ends severed
All of it burned
But I've been trying to tie them back together
So we won’t have to break like this
Into shattered pieces that have
Fallen apart

(Chorus)
We never planned this
We'd never thought that we'd be
Unraveling in front of our feet
We'd never thought the world could
Break our bonds
And question who we are
In just a matter of time
Because time seems to set afire our hearts
And force us to carry on
But moving on and picking up the pieces becomes so hard
When these things
Fall apart

(Bridge)
These things are falling apart
They are ripping up the seams
Of our fragile hearts
Leaving permanent scars
Because the damage forces us to leave
Everything we once were
Before we fell apart

(Chorus)
We never planned this
We'd never thought that we'd be
Unraveling in front of our feet
We'd never thought the world could
Break our bonds
And question who we are
In just a matter of time
Because time seems to set afire our hearts
And force us to carry on
But moving on and picking up the pieces becomes so hard
When these things
Fall apart

(Verse 3)
These things are falling apart
Don’t let go
Because I can’t lose you
Your heart
Is broken
But maybe we can beat the odds
And pick up the damaged pieces from the start
So we won’t have to
Fall Apart
