Description

About past relationships.[3] Bellamy has said that this has stemmed from feelings that he has had.[3]

It sounds like a Hang, an instrument similar to a steel drum, was used at the start of this song.

Additional information

The only album track never played live, aside from as an instrumental introduction to Eternally Missed for at least the two Carling Weekend performances of 2002. This is because "it never really seemed to work" when played live, according to Chris, although he indicated it may be played in the future.[4] The riff was played as an intro to Starlight on the São Paulo, Brazil gig in 2008 which probably hints a preparation for a possible live performance.[5]

Falling Away With You was called World Crumbling during the recording process, as seen on the Making of Absolution bonus DVD.[1]

Lyrics

I can't remember when it was good
Moments of happiness elude
Maybe I just misunderstood

All of the love we left behind
Watching the flashbacks intertwine
Memories I will never find

So I'll love whatever you become
And forget the reckless things we've done
I think our lives have just begun 
I think our lives have just begun

And I'll feel my world crumbling, 
I'll feel my life crumbling
I'll feel my soul crumbling away
And falling away,
Falling away with you

Staying awake to chase a dream
Tasting the air you're breathing in
I hope I won't forget a thing

Promise to hold you close and pray
Watching the fantasies decay
Nothing will ever stay the same

And all of the love we threw away
And all of the hopes we've cherished fade
Making the same mistakes again 
Making the same mistakes again

I'll feel my world crumbling, 
I'll feel my life crumbling
I'll feel my soul crumbling away
And falling away,
Falling away with you

All of the love we left behind
Watching the flash backs intertwine
Memories I will never find
Memories I will never find
