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
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
