Fragile

I saw you coming in the headlights

Rubbing your arms and shaking your head

You say, "Oh, I just don't know, it's not so safe

And it gets so tiresome playing dead."

They've stolen your keys, they lifted your watch

But you know too well, all too well

What it's like to be caught

Fragile - handle with care

I've got to face what's never there

Influences I think I am under

They are so discouraging it seems to me

They've stolen my secret longings for you

Please, can't you tell me

Is that the worst they can do?

Fragile

She said, "Oh no, I guess it is my fate

To live a life; I can't communicate

How painful, painful, but giving up is okay."

I go for your check; I see your check has been paid
