Things Fall Apart

I take such care in waking

Every single day

I'm not known for being a strong man

I just wasn't born that way

My girl says I'm losing weight

What can I say

I'm just living day to day

And I know I have such a weak heart

Things fall apart

Things fall apart

My grandpa used to be a cruel man

He beat my mother at times

But I get on quite well with him

So I don't bother looking behind

He who is without sin

Cast the first stone

It wouldn't be right if he were all alone

And I know he has such a weak heart

Things fall apart

Things fall apart

I know someday I'll have my own son

Lord knows I'm gonna treat him mean

'Cause I don't want to look up at him

And find out he turned out just like me

And I know when I'm going six feet underground

To my kin my weakness is found

And I know he'll have such a weak heart

Things fall apart

Things fall apart
