Medb Hurley - things fall apart

When did the small things become so hard?
My hard-drive's full of stuff, guess I'm good at wasting space
I can't bear to fix it, can't bear to get up
Can't even brush my teeth sometimes
I'm twenty and trapped in a body that's not mine
Like I dropped all this time on the road way back
And I didn't check my pockets 'til I'd covered my tracks
Like I've been allotted all the life I'm allowed to have
I can't travel forwards, guess I'll go back
Things fall apart because things do fall apart
And I don't know what to do or how to leave a mark
I don't know how to talk or where to even start
Where to start? Where to start?
It could have been a minute or a decade I let the phone ring
I know you'll wait for me with a diamond heart
Convince me babies are better than art
Your eyes reflect versions of me from the past
Those memories last only inside your mind
If I lose you, I lose any sense of my timeline
Or meaning to anything I've ever said or done
Like my eighteenth birthday, when the world dissolved to snow and
I thought it was a sign from the universe
To mark the very moment my life had begun
Things fall apart because things will fall apart
And there won't be any rhythm or reason or fault
And I don't know how to cope or how to keep my head up
I'll keep it up and I'll take it on the chin and
I'll break down in my own company and
I will mark the days and I will make the space and
I might just wash my hair today
Things fall apart, a law of the universe, a chance to restart
When things fall apart I can't hide with you in the dark
