Smashing Pumpkins - Crestfallen Lyrics






Who am I to need you when I'm down
Where are you when I need you around
Your life is not your own

And all I ask you
Is for another chance
Another way around you
To live by circumstance, once again

Who am I to need you now
To ask you why to tell you no
To deserve your love and sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me

And you may go, but I know you won't leave
Too many years built into memories
Your life is not your own

Who am I to need you now
To ask you why to tell you no
To deserve your love and sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me

Who am I to you?
Along the way
I lost my faith

And as you were, you'll be again
To mold like clay, to break like dirt
To tear me up in your sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me
You were never meant to belong to me
You were never meant to belong to me

Who am I?

Smashing Pumpkins Crestfallen Comments
  1. R.... J....

    Este disco envejece y lo hace de una forma tan maravillosa..., cada día mejor con el paso del tiempo. Definitivamente una verdadera obra de arte moderno. Es inmensa la profundidad de sus letras, y la música es un viaje intergaláctico.

  2. c.... d....

    Who is this song about

  3. A.... S....

    Haunting

  4. g.... s....

    In an alternate dimension. .. or a parallel universe we are still together

  5. K.... J....

    your music is always here for me. Thank you WPC

  6. D.... N....

    Soul expanding music

  7. b.... ....

    chi sono io? chi sono io per aver bisogno di te? ..eppure, caro Billy, tanto quanto me, indipendentemente da fardelli economici, forse l'affetto di cui abbiamo più sentito la mancanza è quello della stronza madre, con affetto

  8. J.... M....

    1997!😭

  9. F.... R....

    smashing pumpkins forever

  10. L.... G....

    My favourite album by them

  11. M.... P....

    This album was high school, 10th grade, my first love... her name was Maira❤️ the very first time we kissed this song was playing so loud on an amazing sound system at my parents house... it was such a beautiful moment...I would play this album on repeat for the longest.
    And as you were you'll be again, to mold like clay, to break like dirt. To tear me up in your sympathy, you were never meant to belong to me. Who am I....

  12. C.... K....

    I can relate to this song in more than one way. I've been engaged twice, both times cheated on. Love is a fickle bitch.

  13. D.... R....

    What a beautiful album that personally feels so under appreciated. It actually bothers me that this album is never brought up when the band is commercially talked about. I've loved this band from the beginning, and this album is a (huge) reason why I still care about this band. I love Gish. I love Siamese. I love Mellon Collie. But Adore ripped my heart apart, and made me want to understand how I can put it back together.

    Who am I?

  16. D.... J....

    chills.

  17. M.... M....

    And you may go, but I know you won't leave....

  18. R.... B....

    Who am I to need you when I'm down
    Where are you when I need you around
    Your life is not your own

    And all I ask you
    Is for another chance
    Another way around you
    To live by circumstance, once again

    Who am I to need you now
    To ask you why to tell you no
    To deserve your love and sympathy
    You were never meant to belong to me

    And you may go, but I know you won't leave
    Too many years built into memories
    Your life is not your own

    Who am I to need you now
    To ask you why to tell you no
    To deserve your love and sympathy
    You were never meant to belong to me

    Who am I to you?
    Along the way
    I lost my faith

    And as you were, you'll be again
    To mold like clay, to break like dirt
    To tear me up in your sympathy
    You were never meant to belong to me
    You were never meant to belong to me
    You were never meant to belong to me

    Who am I?

  19. E.... R....

    I love this album

  20. H.... ....

    Their best album and best song in my opinion.

  21. M.... P....

    superb song. idiotic arrangement.

  22. M.... G....

    This album is a TIME CAPSULE.

  23. C.... K....

    AND YOU MAY GO BUT I KNOW YOU WONT LEEEEEEEEEEEVE

  24. N.... N....

    Written into my will to have this played at my funeral

  25. D.... D....

    One of the best songs off that album.

  26. S.... ....

    240.000 προβολές αυτό το αριστούργημα;;;;;;;;;; Άντε γαμηθειτε ρε!!!!!!

  27. S.... ....

    Beautiful. I love it when Billy and D’Arcy sing together. Their voices complement each other.

  28. S.... ....

    When this song came out as a single critics said it lacked catharsis. Well, they certainly got it wrong as the whole song is one.

  29. M.... J....

    Love this album always did got it for Christmas when I was a kid.

  30. R.... T....

    I won this album and about 5 more at ozzfeat 98.i started listening to it in 2003 and fell in love with it.it became the soundtrack to a relationship I was in with a woman who abused the hell out of me,but it was still a strange but good experience.i learned a lot about women from this girl,and i,guess I can thank her for that.i ended up marrying her and divorcing her 5 years later.go figure.

  31. E.... 5....

    Still brings up so much emotion 20 years later. I remember living on my own for the first time, had just lost my high school sweetheart...playing this song and album over and over.

    E.... 5....

    Same bro

    E.... 5....

    I know dem feels

  32. k.... p....

    2017 and still Cant get enough of Adore

    k.... p....

    2forever

  33. B.... S....

    I LOVE YOU NATASHA 🌹❤️

  34. M.... K....

    When this album came out it originally got a cold reaction from all the fans wanting more big chorus rock anthems, but over time I think it has gained a lot of ground. A lot of really nice moments on this one.

    M.... K....

    Yeah, the "kids" didn't think Billy could perform without JC on drums....wrong, dead wrong.

    M.... K....

    When the kids aged another 10-20 years and the angst made way for other feelings. This album really was ahead of its time

  35. R.... S....

    Song from the last scene of Homicide: Life On The Street The Movie had me in tears

  36. S.... 3....

    My god, this album brought so much beauty and connection with me and my close friends. Long may it live on...

  37. A.... ....

    you were never meant to belong to me.... I understand that now.

  38. P.... R....

    simply beautiful

  39. C.... R....

    El meu àlbum preferit dels Smashing,és perfecte tot sencer, i això no sol passar. En definitiva, una genialitat

  40. E.... P....

    Album fantastico a mio parere il migliore della band....smashing dove siete?

  41. F.... R....

    clássica

    F.... R....

    Goose skin

  42. V.... M....

    desgarradora,nostalgica,dulce y preciosa canción. Quiza tu nuca estes predestinada a ser mia...

  43. V.... M....

    preciosa,dulce nostalgica y desgarradora canción. quiza tu no este destinada a estar conmigo...

  44. R.... L....

    "You were never meant to belong to me!!" Sweetie so SORRY!!😢

  45. J.... F....

    One of my favorite smashing pumpkins albums

  46. x.... ....

    One of my faves out of this album. I can relate to it, it's really introspective and you can feel the pain in Billy's voice.

  47. J.... Q....

    One of my all time favorites

  48. B.... M....

    Bought this wonderful album back in '98. Must have listened to it a thousand times since!

    B.... M....

    Let's listen to it once more

    B.... M....

    Same. Here again kicking my ass for giving it away.

  49. A.... H....

    I love this album....

    A.... H....

    the best one i think

  50. S.... ....

    What a beautiful song!!!!!

  51. V.... A....

    all my life

  52. M.... ....

    My friend, I guess I can still call her that, is or was a burlesque model. We were never hugely close, but we understood each other. We were in different circles but always ended up in the same group somehow. We were into each other at different stages and never confirmed it until much later, after we'd gotten older and kind of moved on. We went out with different people, neither of us very happy. She went to the uk to model and did well for herself but ended up coming back home. We talked a bit, reminisced, and then she said she'd been to a therapist. She suggested I did it too. We understood each other alright, but I guess I never understood how someone could understand me that much. I started to go and talk. Built myself up again and really got to know myself. She moved on, found a husband and had a kid. I'm happy for her. I wonder how she's doing sometimes and still think about her occasionally. She changed my life in ways and I want her to know I'm grateful xx

    M.... ....

    you should try to get ahold of her

    M.... ....

    Why did she suggested to go to a therapist???.... Well i think is never too late at least to close this chapter in your life you should contact her just to see if she needs this call as much as you did all this time

  53. V.... G....

    I Love this song is very good. This video should not be deleted from youtube.:-D ;-) <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

  54. �.... ....

    Who am I?
    To need you when I'm down
    And where are you
    When I need you around
    Your life is not your own
    And all I ask you
    Is for another chance
    Another way around you
    To live by circumstance,once again
    Who am I?
    To need you now
    To ask you why, to tell you no
    To deserve your love and sympathy
    You were never meant to belong to me
    And you may go
    But I know you won't leave

    Too many years built into memories
    Your life is not your own
    Who am I?
    To need you now
    To ask you why, to tell you no
    To deserve your love and sympathy
    You were never meant to belong to me
    Who am I to you?
    Along the way, I lost my faith
    And as you were, you'll be again
    To mold like clay, to break like dirt
    To tear me up in your sympathy
    You were never meant to belong to me
    You were never meant to belong to me
    You were never meant to belong to me
    Who am I?

    Ive been listening to this since I was 14. I love this album so much. It does remind me of my ex but, even more so, it reminds me of my life. Love it so much. I can also play it on piano.

  55. G.... ....

    Omg.YES. THIS!^ I missed these guys

  56. E.... S....

    1 May 2015 , this song dedicated for you there somewhere in M

  57. E.... S....

    Who am i ? To need you when i'm down

  58. H.... N....

    That's how it is

  59. S.... T....

    I'd love to see the original Pumpkins reconcile and maybe tour again. I'm sure it'll never happen. But hey, one can dream. They had already broken up by the time I really got into them during my adolescent years but I went through those years with Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie as the soundtracks to my life. I recently got Adore (I didn't even know they made anything between Mellon Collie and Zeitgeist) and it's just another A+ album from this group. 

    Oh how I dream of seeing these guys play live one day. It probably won't happen. Til then, I dream.

    S.... T....

    Well, it's just about time! since Billy has reconciled with James and D'Arcy and its a fact they are going to tour again..now lets wait for the big news..

    S.... T....

    NOT ONLY REFORM, BUT SPECIFICALLY PLAY MOST SONGS FROM GISH (1991) TO MACHINA (2000); THEY CAN LEAVE OUT MOST OF WHAT CAME AFTER!

    S.... T....

    i think we should just clone james five times and put him on stage with other clones of jimmy billy and d'arcy

    S.... T....

    Spicey Tuna -well ur dream is gonna become Real this year.2018
    But it seems without D'arcy on this tour its rather dumb imo

    S.... T....

    Band sans D'arcy is still great. She is acting like a child with Billy atm anyway

  60. l.... c....

    Oh smashing pumpkins how i miss them years 12 -18 i practically owe them my adolescent life. I would like to thank billy one day.

  61. M.... X....

    Lump in my throat

  62. L.... ....

    :((((((((((

  63. I.... L....

    How I love this song.

  64. M.... M....

    My thoughts are in reeling motion with this song. But somehow it gives me solace, and I don't know why.

  65. M.... D....

    Beautiful love song!

  66. N.... ....

    This was the first album I ever bought myself with my own money when I was a kid. It will always be special to me.

    N.... ....

    Diorama by Silverchair and Californication by RHCP. Good times, 2 months allowance gone 😆

    N.... ....

    Mine was R.E.M. Monster :)

    N.... ....

    Naris_The_Zabrak this is special song for me, when first time and last time meet him :(

    N.... ....

    It was the first CD I bought when I was a child as well. I still have it and it’s 2019. I became a singer singer writer and had the chance to play and write with Corgan himself. I play in a band now that people say we have the Pumpkins vibe... I take that as a compliment :)

  67. G.... R....

    If i had a tribute video playing this is the song to be perfect for it!

    G.... R....

    Please make that video.

    G.... R....

    Check out the on stage For Martha accompanying reel for their Shiny.. tour.

    Apparently when the art director/stage organizer showed it to him the first time he burst into tears.

    It was actually my first time listening to that song and so did I
