Fall on Me Lyrics


she said you're going insane,
just promise you'll drop my name,
when you drop off the face of the planet,
you took me for granted,
now I'm finding my way home alone,
leaving you swallowing silence for two,
just blame it,
fall on me,
fall on me,
fall on me now,
tell all of your friends,
all that remains to be said,
three little words and the end,
you can take it all back,
or watch this all fade to black,
your problem, you claim it,
just turn your back and blame it,
speak low if you speak revenge,

dangerous game called pretend,
hands to the matches,
we're throwing a spark,
stuttering lies to keep the truth in the dark,
and I'll keep breathing because you're choking me out,
and I'm sick of being in your shadow of doubt,
but that's what I get for mixing pleasure with pain,
so I'll turn the clock back,
and wait for the rain to
fall on me,
fall on me,
fall on me now,
tell all of your friends,
all that remains to be said,
three little words and the end,
you can take it all back,
or watch this all fade to black,
your problem, you claim it,
just turn your back and blame it,

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
R.E.M. were an alternative rock band formed in Athens, Georgia, United States in 1980. The band originally consisted of Michael Stipe (vocals), Peter Buck (guitar, mandolin), Mike Mills (bass, keyboards, vocals) and Bill Berry (drums). Berry retired from the band in October 1997 after having suffered a brain aneurysm in 1995.

R.E.M. released its first single, "Radio Free Europe", in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone. The single was followed by the Chronic Town EP in 1982, the band's first release on I.R.S. Records. In 1983, the group released its critically acclaimed debut album, Murmur, and built its reputation over the next few years through subsequent releases, constant touring, and the support of college radio. Following years of underground success, R.E.M. achieved a mainstream hit in 1987 with the single "The One I Love". The group signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1988, and began to espouse political and environmental concerns while playing large arenas worldwide.

By the early 1990s, when alternative rock began to experience broad mainstream success, R.E.M. was viewed as a pioneer of the genre and released its two most commercially successful albums, Out of Time (1991) and Automatic for the People (1992), which veered from the band's established sound. R.E.M.'s 1994 release, Monster, was a return to a more rock-oriented sound. The band began its first tour in six years to support the album; the tour was marred by medical emergencies suffered by three band members. In 1996, R.E.M. re-signed with Warner Bros. for a reported US$80 million, at the time the most expensive recording contract in history. The following year, Bill Berry left the band, while Buck, Mills, and Stipe continued the group as a three-piece. Through some changes in musical style, the band continued its career into the next decade with mixed critical and commercial success. In 2007, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

On 21 September 2011, after over 30 years together, R.E.M. announced that they had split up.
