"Before I Fall to Pieces" is a song by English indie rock band Razorlight, the fifth track on their self-titled second album.

Borrell called song the catalyst for "landfill indie". He said: "I think you can kind of say that in 2006, at the start of this [song], music was in quite an interesting place. Then three-and-a-half minutes later it's fucked."[3]
