All Falls Down

Alan Walker

Meaning

The song speaks about the complexity of a love-hate relationship and how neither one is in control of what happens. It is chaos

Lyrics

What's the trick? I wish I knew
i'm so done with thinking through
all the things I could've been
And I know you want me, too
All it takes is that one look at you
and I run right back to you
You cross that line and it's time to say F you

What's the point in saying that
when you know how I'll react?
You think you can just take it back,
but shit just don't work like that
You're the drug that I'm addicted to,
and I want you so bad
Guess I'm stuck with you, and that's that

'Cause when it all falls down, then whatever
When it don't work out for the better
If it just ain't right,
and it's time to say goodbye
When it all falls down, when it all falls down
I'll be fine
I'll be fine
You're the drug that I'm addicted to
And I want you so bad, but I'll be fine

Why we fight? I don't know
We say what hurts the most
Oh, I tried staying cold,
but you take it personal
All these firing shots and making ground
It's way too hard to cope,
but I still can't let you go

'Cause when it all falls down, then whatever
When it don't work out for the better
If it just ain't right,
and it's time to say goodbye
When it all falls down, when it all falls down
I'll be fine
I'll be fine
You're the drug that I'm addicted to
and I want you so bad
But I'll be fine

I'll be fine, fine, fine
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
I'll be fine, fine, fine
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
I'll be fine, fine, fine
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
I'll be fine, fine, fine
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine

'Cause when it all falls down, then whatever
(Then whatever, babe)
When it don't work out for the better
(For the better)
If it just ain't right,
and it's time to say goodbye
When it all falls down
(When it all, when it all)
When it all falls down
(When it all falls down)
I'll be fine
(Fine, fine, fine) I'll be fine (I'll be fine)
You're the drug that I'm addicted to
and I want you so bad
But I'll be fine (I'll be fine)
and that's that
Play with the song, fill the gaps
