Fragile

I keep my coffee

On the same chipped plate

One wrong move

And it’s all over the floor

You say you’re fine

With my crooked ways

But you hold me

Like a glass on a shaking train

I’m fragile

Handle me like I might break

Like the last clean picture

In a burned-out frame

I’m fragile

Touch me soft and say my name

If you slam the door

I’ll shatter in my own chest (oh)

I’m fragile

You trace the crack

On my bedroom door

Same place my dad

Put his fist years before

I laugh it off

But my voice runs thin

Every loud sound

Feels like it’s happening again

I’m fragile

Handle me like I might break

Like the last clean picture

In a burned-out frame

I’m fragile

Touch me soft and say my name

If you slam the door

I’ll shatter in my own chest (yeah)

I’m fragile

I’m not asking you to fix

Every piece that doesn’t fit

Just don’t toss me in the sink

With the dirty dishes

I’m fragile

Handle me like I might break

Like a saved voicemail

You’re afraid to erase

I’m fragile

Hold me close and say you’ll stay

If you walk away

I’ll scatter in the hallway

I’m fragile
