When Her World Fell Apart
By Yves Stilmant © 2025
Verse 1A
She walked through the door with no words on her lips
Mascara like rivers, hands clenched into fists
The silence was louder than thunder could be
And I knew this was more than a teenage dream
Verse 1B
She dropped on the couch like her heart weighed a ton
Her voice broke to pieces -- "I thought he was the one..."
I wanted to rage, to go make it right
But all I could do was sit by her side
Pre-Chorus
You raise 'em so strong, then the world leaves a scar
You hold what you can when it's falling apart
Chorus
I'd take the fall if it spared your heart
Catch every tear before it could start
But some lessons love teaches in pain
And the sun only shines after rain
You're not broken -- just learning your part
In the song that begins when your world falls apart

Verse 2A
I remembered her laugh when she first learned to run
How she danced through the house just chasing the sun
Now here she was -- grown, broken, and brave
Fighting for light on the darkest of days
Verse 2B
She leaned on my shoulder, and didn't say much
Just needed a voice that she knew she could trust
So I whispered the words she once said to me:
"Even strong hearts are allowed to bleed"
Pre-Chorus
We can't shield their hearts from the storms in the sky
But we stand like a lighthouse, steady and dry
Chorus
I'd take the fall if it spared your heart
Catch every tear before it could start
But some lessons love teaches in pain
And the sun only shines after rain
You're not broken -- just learning your part
In the song that begins when your world falls apart

Bridge
Someday she'll find someone who stays
Who sees every scar as a beautiful trace
Of a woman who rose when the sky caved in
Who found her strength where the pain had been

Final Chorus
I'd take the fall if it spared your heart
Catch every tear before it could start
But some lessons love teaches in pain
And the sun only shines after rain
You're not broken -- just learning your part
In the song that begins when your world falls apart

Tag/Outro (Optional spoken or sung softly)
And I'll be right here... when your world falls apart
