Delicate

Kina Grannis · Stairwells [2011]

You said, "Be careful, it's delicate, things can just crumble apart."

But it's not the same for me

It's not the same for me



So I kept treading so carelessly

Thin lines that splintered my ground

But I closed my eyes to them

I closed my eyes to them



CHORUS:

And how did you know that I couldn't be

What everyone wanted me to be?

And how did you know that I wouldn't see

When everything falls away from me?

When everything falls away from me



One day I woke in the rubble

Knee-deep in damage I'd done

And I was ashamed of it

How did it come to this?



CHORUS x2



When everything falls away from me
