Story Behind The Song
The lyrics for this song were written long before the instrumental version was created. I have searched a long time to find the right singer for this song and Amy Harvey is that singer. She is a very talented soprano and once I found the right voice, the rest was easy.

Lyrics
Fallin' Out of Love
© 2015, John Gerard Macchietto
(Instrumental - 1 verse) -
Verse 1: I'm just sittin' here - fallin' - out of love
I'm just sittin' here - fallin' - out of love
Everytime he stands me up
I'm at this bar alone,
I'm just sittin' here fallin' - out of love.
Verse 2: I'm just sittin' here - feelin' - all alone
I'm just sittin' here - feelin' - all alone
The bartender pours me another drink
While I just cry and moan
I'm just sittin' here feelin' - all alone.
(Instrumental - 2 verses)
Verse 3: I'm just wonderin' - where I've gone wrong
I'm just wonderin' - where I've - gone wrong
Whiskey just won't fix my pain
Why can't I just be strong?
What's so hard about sayin', "so long?"
Verse 4: I'm just wantin' to - fall out of love.
I'm just hopin' to - fall out of love.
I'm so mad - 'cause I can't leave
I hate to be alone ¬-
I'm just wantin' to fall - out of love.
I'm just hopin' to fall - out of love.
Why can't I just fall - - out of love?
