Have you ever listened to a song that feels like it’s stitching your heart back together even as it’s breaking? That’s exactly what “When I’m Through Falling Apart” does—it’s a tender confession of vulnerability wrapped in melodies that feel like a comforting embrace. It’s about those moments when life pulls you to pieces, and you’re left wondering how, or even if, you’ll ever put yourself back together. But somehow, through the raw honesty of the lyrics, there’s a glimmer of hope—a quiet promise that things will get better when the storm finally passes.
This song strikes a delicate balance between pain and resilience. Its lyrics are beautifully introspective, weaving a story that feels as personal as your own diary entries. It speaks to anyone who has been knocked down by heartbreak, loss, or life’s curveballs. But what makes it truly special is its unflinching authenticity; it doesn’t rush to offer solutions or platitudes. Instead, it gives you permission to sit with the brokenness for a while, to acknowledge the weight of what you’re carrying.
The melody perfectly complements the song’s theme—gentle yet powerful, it rises and falls like the waves of emotion it describes. Whether it’s a soft piano line or the swell of strings in the background, every note feels intentional, drawing you deeper into its emotional landscape. By the end of the song, you’re left with a sense of quiet resolve—a reminder that even after the hardest falls, there’s a chance to stand again

Lyrics
What I need tonight is a shoulder to cry on
Just hold me ’til the heartache’s through with me
Maybe we can build a new love from the ashes
But first I’ve got to burn some memories
When I’m through fallin’ apart, put me together
I’ll give you all the pieces of my heart
When I tell you not right now, I don’t mean never
Just wait until I’m through fallin’ apart
There’s something in your eyes and in the way you hold me
That says you want to be more than a friend
I can’t wait until that final tear has fallen
So I can give my heart to you to mend
When I’m through fallin’ apart, put me together
I’ll give you all the pieces of my heart
When I tell you not right now, I don’t mean never
Just wait until I’m through fallin’ apart
