Fragile
Bryan Rice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No one wants to be the first to
Let someone else inside
It takes some getting, getting used to
Having nowhere to hide
Easier to run
Than to stay and love someone
You think that your walls are invincible
You think you're too tall to be climbed
You got to accept that you're breakable
´cause we are fragile
Who'd have thought it
Would be so hard to keep an open mind?
We have our shortest conversations
When you're convinced you're right
If you want to be strong
Why don't you stay and prove me wrong?
You think that your walls are invincible
You think you're too tall to be climbed
You got to accept that you're breakable
´cause we are fragile
And if you're so immune to being fragile
Why be here with me?
I'm just as fragile as god intended me to be…
And I know how hard it is…
When you think that your walls are invincible
You think you're too tall to be climbed
You got to accept that you're breakable
And we are fragile
You think that your walls are invincible
You think you're too tall to be climbed




You got to accept that you're breakable
and we are fragile…
