"Fragile" lyrics

"Fragile"

Guess I'll always be him
Even after treatment
Everything that he did, I relive
The kid that you knew
With holes in his shoes
Who stole from his family to feed his abuse
Said I'd never be back
Thought that I could detach
Nothing like a relapse to rehash
The kid who was scared
So handle with care

'Cause darling, I'm fragile
A little too fragile
Wall after wall
With cracks in 'em all
I know in your head, I'm a hundred feet tall
I'm sorry, I'm fragile
So if you can't handle how human I am
Yeah, I'll understand
Baby, be honest, could you love a man who's
Fragile?

Wonder what I look like
Looking out from your eyes
Do you see the new me
Or the same guy?
How brittle my bones
The ink on my skin
I blacked out the windows so you can't see in

'Cause darling, I'm fragile
A little too fragile
Wall after wall
There's cracks in 'em all
I know in your head, I'm a hundred feet tall
I'm sorry, I'm fragile, oh yeah
So if you can't handle how human I am
I'll, I'll understand
Baby, be honest, could you love a man who—

Can't forgive and won't forget
I got empathy and empty threads
But it's up to me to call you back
'Cause I want you back, yeah, I want you back
But this fragile ego, where I have to prove to people
That we're equal, but we both know I'm full of shit
Pig in lipstick, still the same kid
Still the same kid

I'm fragile
A little too fragile
Wall after wall
There's cracks in 'em all
I know in your head, I'm a hundred feet tall
I'm sorry, I'm fragile
So if you can't handle how human I am
Yeah, I'll understand
Baby, be honest, could you love a man who's
Fragile?
