lyrics

I looked in the mirror,
First time in a year,
So surprised by my design.

This face to advertise
a surely incongruous mind.
Use your ears and not your eyes,
The sound is right.

But with a heart more fragile than you think,
It's easy to go wrong.
With a heart so fragile, then you blink
And it's gone.

Gather all the fears,
And add up every tear,
But no, not yet, we haven't drowned

Detail your day for me,
Find the love I cannot see,
Hold me, won't you, help me breathe?

But with a heart more fragile than you think,
It's easy to go wrong.
With a heart so fragile, then you blink
And it's gone.

I went walking back towards my bed,
Until we stayed up late instead.
I went walking back towards my bed,
Until we danced outside instead.
I went walking back towards my bed,
Until we smiled and cried instead.
