Lyrics
Guess I'll start with my confession
One I never thought I'd make
This facade of my construction
Is getting harder to fake
You can put me back together
And the lines will never show
I'll still be half a stranger
No one will ever know
That I'm fragile
Like a candle in the rain
I can't think of a word
That doesn't rhyme with pain
You can weave a bed of roses
With your threads made out of gold
You can sow the ground below me
With those stories never told
Just don't leave me standing lonely
Where the sun can burn my skin
Cause you're the one and only
I'll ever let back in again
Because I'm fragile
So fragile
So be careful how you put me down
It's a bitter pill to swallow
But the taste will fade away
And I'll be standing here tomorrow
Masquerade another day
But I'll still be... Fragile
Like a candle in the rain
I can't think of a word
That doesn't rhyme with pain
Oh, I'm fragile, so fragile
Just be careful how you put me down
Just be careful how you put me down
