I fall to pieces Each time I see you again I fall to pieces How can I be just your friend? You want me to act like we've never kissed You want me to forget (to forget) Pretend we've never met (never met) And I've tried and I've tried But I haven't yet You walk by and I fall to pieces I fall to pieces Each time someone speaks your name (speaks your name) I fall to pieces Time only adds to the flame You tell me to find someone else to love Someone who love me too (love me too) The way you used to do (used to do) But each time I go out with someone new You walk by and I fall to pieces You walk by and I fall to pieces
