Life would be easier in thicker skin Yours is thin Porcelain It would be better if you wouldn't cry All your friends They wonder why You're fragile, easily broken You're fragile, already scarred You're fragile, but haven't you noticed All the most precious things are Well if the eyes are windows to the soul Yours is blue And beautiful You just don't have the knack for building walls Whatever comes You feel it all You're fragile, easily broken. I've heard it said there's got to be a crack or two For the light to get through It seems to me that you are meant to be the kind Who shines You're always trying to find an even keel Somewhere safe And not so real But you were made to live the lows and highs A winter rose A butterfly You're fragile, easily broken.
