  • I've been sleeping on the couch
    If you wanna call it sleep
    Every square inch of this house
    Is messy as you left me
    Between the sour mash and the barley
    And all the bottles in the trash
    You'd think I'm a living party
    But girl, you're the life of that

    Turns out I needed you
    And the leaving you
    Wasn't half as smart as I thought it was
    'Cause my life's in pieces now
    And I'm seeing how
    What we had was 'bout as good as it comes
    And now I know better
    'Cause without your arms
    To hold me together
    Baby, I'm falling apart
    Baby, I'm falling apart

    Sold us out to buy my freedom
    And baby, now I'm paying the price
    I swore I had a list of reasons
    But that's a list that I can't find
    If I'd have built my life around you
    I coulda built it to the sky
    Swore that I could live without you
    But I'd die to have you back tonight

    Turns out I needed you
    And the leaving you
    Wasn't half as smart as I thought it was
    'Cause my life's in pieces now
    And I'm seeing how
    What we had was 'bout as good as it comes
    But now I know better
    'Cause without your arms
    To hold me together
    Baby, I'm falling apart
    Baby, I'm falling apart

    I guess I signed up for the crashing down
    I'm just waiting on the rest to happen now

    Turns out I needed you
    And the leaving you
    Wasn't half as smart as I thought it was
    'Cause my life's in pieces now
    And I'm seeing how
    What we had was 'bout as good as it comes
    Now I know better
    'Cause without your arms
    To hold me together
    Baby, I'm falling apart
    Baby, I'm falling apart

    I guess I signed up for the crashing down
    I'm just waiting on the rest to happen now Writer/s: Keith Wallen, Kevin Kadish
