Fall Apart Quietly

Intro – Spoken/Marvin Gaye Sample Style]

(Soft vinyl crackle, faded echo)

Most of the time, I put on quite a face…

But I’m pretty depressed most of the time.

⸻

Why’d you let me fall, girl, why’d you let me drown?

I was screamin’ for you, but you never turned around

Everything we built—burnt, ash on the ground

Now I sleep with shadows, tryna silence the sound

Gun to my head like I’m better off dead

But I smile through the pain like they won’t see the red

Candle’s burned down at both of the ends

You were my home, now I got no defense

⸻

Demons all around me, pourin’ up to numb it

Foldin’ every hand they dealt me, still I’m runnin’

Stuck between these four damn walls

And now they closin’ in, I can’t breathe at all

⸻

I still miss you, even after what you did

Hollowed out, stomach sick, can’t forget

I know it’s wrong, but there’s somethin’ in your kiss

And I hate that I’m still here, feelin’ like this

Did you hear me when I cried?

Or were you gone before the end?

Now I’m fallin’, girl, again

Fallin’… fallin’ quietly within

⸻

Trapped in between hell and a dream

Told myself I’m fine—but I don’t believe me

Lost your love like a soul in retreat

And the pain don’t fade, it just finds a new beat

I should hate you, but I miss you instead

Every “I love you” still echoes in my head

No rhythm since you left, just static in my chest

I gave you all of me, now there’s nothin’ left

⸻

You ever love someone so deep…

They become the ghost in every room you enter?

I chased after me, now I’m someone else

I don’t need a mirror to see I’m in hell

Blood on my thoughts, scars on my breath

But I smile like it’s fine—I fake it to death

⸻

Gun to my head like I’m better off dead

What I feel in my heart, try to smile instead

Hollowed out, stomach sick, still miss you

Even after all the damage I’ve been through

Did you hear me when I cried?

Were my screams too soft to stay?

Now I’m fallin’, girl, again

Fallin’… fallin’ quietly away

⸻

But um… my depression?

I think it’s my empathy for humanity…

And maybe, I was always too emotional

To be human… and survive it.
