Fall Apart
Lyrics
You broke my heart in two..
Now you and I are through..
You put me through this pain..
And now you are alone again..
I sit here with a broken heart..
And all I can do is fall apart..
I know you put me through this pain...
And now I'm alone again..
—
All of this was only a lie..
You knew it all of the time..
You made these tears in my eyes..
And now we're by ourselves..
I sit here with a broken heart and all I do is fall apart..
You made me cry these many nights..
And now we're alone again..
Chorus lyrics, written 2006
Notes
I'd missed hearing the whole of Fall Apart for a long time and had been thinking about it. When I spotted it among Amanda's additions, I was extremely happy. The songs where she applied her voice have a value all their own. More than any, I wish them not to be lost.

Computed notes
Written at eighteen, the year she became a mother. The chorus survives in a January 2007 journal entry, transcribed back into the song twenty years later; the vocal sits low against the production and the lyric does the heavy lifting. Recovered via Amanda Miller in March 2026.
