VERSE 1: Hold on, we'll set it all on fire and watch the flames go higher, somethings gotta give Slow down, everythings a dream and nothings what seems, somethings gotta live So long, welcome to show It's sad you have to go Tumbling down the well I'll be around, we'll make a little shrine for all of the times that you fell PRE CHORUS: (Operatic singing) CHORUS: Please Don't Fall To Pieces Now I Need You By My Side Please Don't Fall To Pieces, I I've Waited for so long. Please Don't fall to pieces now, You seem so far away Please Don't Fall to Pieces I just want you to stay. VERSE 2: It's high time, I know you're not a Liar just feeding your desire, living for the thrill Up there, nothing can be fair it’s all too much to bear, for a look that kills It’s not a crime, sometimes it’s sublime but now you’re outta time And you’re just a shell I’ll be around, we'll make a little shrine for all of the times that you fell PRE CHORUS: (Operatic Singing) CHORUS: Please Don't Fall To Pieces Now I Need You By My Side Please Don't Fall To Pieces, I I've Waited for so long. Please Don't fall to pieces now, You seem so far away Please Don't Fall to Pieces I just want you to stay. (No one is gonna save me) Please Don't Fall To Pieces Now I Need You By My Side (I Think I'm Going Crazy) Please Don't Fall To Pieces, I I've Waited for so long. (No on is gonna save me) Please Don't fall to pieces now, You seem so far away (I think I'm going crazy) Please Don't Fall to Pieces I just want you to stay. (No one is gonna save me) OUTRO: I think I'm going crazy. No one is gonna save me.
