Fragile
Gnash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stay with me for a day
I've got no one to hold me
'Cause I, I turn them all away
I don't wanna be alone
But I'm better on my own
God, I'm fragile
I'm sorry you saw me breaking
But stay with me don't stray
God, I wish you would hold me closely
Don't think I don't feel the same
I'm better on my own
But I don't wanna be alone
'Cause I'm fragile
God, I'm fragile
God, I wish I could love you
God, I wish I could love you
God, I wish I could love you
God, I wish I could love you
'Cause I'm fragile
God, I'm fragile
The song "Fragile" by Gnash talks about the internal struggles of a person who is dealing with emotional vulnerability and a fear of opening up. The lyrics express a deep longing for emotional connection and feeling safe with someone, but the fear of being hurt and left alone outweighs the desire to be with them.
The first two lines, "I'm sorry you saw me shaking, stay with me for a day" indicate the singer's vulnerability with someone they trust. However, the following line, "I've got no one to hold me 'Cause I, I turn them all away," reveals the contradiction of the feeling of deep loneliness and the tendency to push others away. The individual knows that they need companionship, but they cannot trust anyone enough to let them in.
The chorus expresses the singer's fragility and a cry for understanding: "God, I'm fragile, I'm sorry you saw me breaking, but stay with me don't stray, God I wish you would hold me closely, don't think I don't feel the same." The repetition of "God, I'm fragile" is a recurring theme that highlights the individual's state of mind. They long for love and affection, but also fear the vulnerability and pain that come with it.
Overall, "Fragile" is a song about recognizing one's emotional vulnerability, longing for human connection, and dealing with the inner turmoil that comes with it.
