Illenium – Good Things Fall Apart lyrics
(feat. Jon Bellion)

[Verse 1]
Did I say something wrong? Did you hear what I was thinking?
Did I talk way too long when I told you all my feelings that night?
Is it you? Is it me? Did you find somebody better?
Someone who isn't me, 'cause I know that I was never your type
Never really your type

[Pre-Chorus]
Overthinking's got me drinking
Messing with my head, whoa

[Chorus]
Tell me what you hate about me
Whatever it is, I'm sorry
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I know I can be dramatic
But everybody said we had it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
I'm coming to terms with a broken heart
I guess that sometimes good things fall apart

[Verse 2]
When you said it was real, guess I really did believe you
Did you fake how you feel when we parked down by the river that night? That night?
That night when we fogged up the windows in your best friend's car
'Cause we couldn't leave the windows down in December
Whoa


[Chorus]
Tell me what you hate about me
Whatever it is, I'm sorry
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I know I can be dramatic
But everybody said we had it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
I'm coming to terms with a broken heart
I guess that sometimes good things fall apart

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus]
Overthinking's got me drinking
Messing with my head, oh

[Chorus]
Tell me what you hate about me (About me)
Whatever it is, I'm sorry (Oh, I'm sorry)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Oh, I'm sorry), yeah, yeah, yeah
I know I can be dramatic (I know I can be)
Everybody said we had it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
I'm coming to terms with a broken heart
I guess that sometimes good things fall apart

    This song is about a romantic relationship. To be more specific, it about a romantic union that has already passed, much to the chagrin of the narrator, Jon Bellion. Most of the track is centered on him questioning why exactly said romance ended inexplicably when everything was seemingly going well. And in that regard, he concludes “that sometimes good things fall apart”. Again, the majority of the song is dedicated to Jon wondering what exactly led to his girlfriend deciding to let him go. And for the most part, he seems to believe a flaw in his own personality prompted her to make this decision, in addition to also acknowledging that he was “never really (her) type”. Other parts of the song are dedicated to him recollecting fond memories of the two of them being intimate together. His heart is broken, and he is “over thinking” as a result, trying to analyze the situation. This is a stressful situation which has him hitting the bottle and is causing him mental discomfort in general.

    Even good things eventually fall apart
    Yes, the singer admits that he has issues. But this negative self-analysis may just be a coping mechanism, as in an attempt to make sense of what appears to be him being unexpectedly dumped by the woman he loves. Indeed in his eyes, their relationship was all gravy, which again has led him to conclude that even “good things fall apart”.
