Fragile
Closure Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If it's gonna stay the same
I'd rather you walk away
‘Cause I don't want to be the blame
It tends to shine more than it rains
So please don't let me down
‘Cause I am feeling fragile now
We gotta slow this down
And now I think I
I can see what's going on
‘Cause I've already played the game
And I don't want to be the one who's hanging on
It tends to hurt more every day
So please don't let me down
‘Cause I am feeling fragile now
We gotta slow this down
And I don't think I want this now
So please don't let me down
‘Cause I don't want it turning out the same
If it's gonna stay the same
I'd rather walk away, walk away




‘Cause I don't want to be the blame
It tends to hurt more every day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Closure's song Fragile speak about the fear and uncertainty that comes with being in a relationship that seems to be heading in the wrong direction. The song begins with a declaration that if things are not going to change, the singer would rather their partner walk away. This indicates that, in the past, the relationship has been troubled and there have been previous discussions about ending it. The singer does not want to be blamed for the relationship ending, and this may be because they feel that the problems are not entirely their fault.


The first verse then goes on to describe the ups and downs of the relationship. The singer acknowledges that there are moments of happiness ("It tends to shine more than it rains"), but these are often outweighed by the difficulties that they face as a couple. They encourage their partner not to let them down, as they are feeling fragile and vulnerable at this point. The singer has already been in this situation before and is reluctant to be the one who is left hanging on. The chorus emphasizes the importance of slowing down and taking time to work through the problems in the relationship.


The second verse echoes the same sentiments as the first. The singer is still uncertain about the future of the relationship and does not want to be hurt any more than they already are. The closing lines of the song emphasize the desire for change and the need to break free from the patterns of the past. The singer does not want to keep repeating the same mistakes and experiencing the same pain over and over again.


Overall, the lyrics of Fragile paint a picture of a relationship that is teetering on the edge of collapse. The singer is grappling with their emotions and trying to come to terms with the idea that the relationship is not working. They are afraid of being hurt but are also not willing to continue living in a state of uncertainty and anxiety.
