Fall Apart - The Mavericks

The story of you and I has beautiful memories

'Til lonesome and weary sighs start keepin' them company

As soon as they all gather 'round, along comes misery

Then here we go again, here we go again

So if an old friend of mine comes knockin' upon my door

All I could tell him now, he’s already heard before

It’s better to love and lose, to never have played at all

For sometimes losers are the only ones who win

I’d rather fall apart than never knowing loving you

For every broken-hearted lover, love was once anew

And that will be the hope that gets me through eternity

Along with all the memories that belong to you and me

A fortunate man I am that you were a part of me

The game has been played and I’m just shy of a victory

The heartaches that carry on will soon be history

Let’s hope the world is full of losers in the end

I’d rather fall apart than never knowing loving you

For every broken-hearted lover, love was once anew

And that will be the hope that gets me through eternity

Along with all the memories that belong to you and me
