Fragile
[Intro] [acoustic guitar strumming, ambient synth swell] (Mmm-hmm) [Verse 1] [breathy female vocals] I left the porch light on like a prayer in the dark Waiting for the gravel crunch, the shadow of your spark But the clock on the wall is a cold-blooded thief Counting down the seconds of my hollowed-out belief You smell like rain and a scent I didn't know A floral ghost on your collar that you didn't think would show I trace the map of your lies in the silence of the hall Watching every promise like a picture off the wall [Chorus] [drums enter, synth bass swells] And I'm fragile, breaking like a winter window pane Shattered into pieces by the mention of your name You were the anchor, now you're just the heavy stone Pulling me down where the salt meets the bone I'm paper thin, I'm see-through, I'm a ghost in the hall Just waiting for the gravity to catch my final fall Yeah, I'm fragile [vocal layering] And you knew it all along [Verse 2] [percussive electronic clicks enter] I found the messages hidden in the digital haze A trail of blue light burning through my better days She calls you honey like she has the right to the hive While I'm just struggling to keep this hollow house alive Every "I love you" was a coin toss in a well A wishing well that led me straight to this designer hell You're coming home with your rehearsed little sighs But I can see the stranger living right behind your eyes [Chorus] [full arrangement, driving beat] And I'm fragile, breaking like a winter window pane Shattered into pieces by the mention of your name You were the anchor, now you're just the heavy stone Pulling me down where the salt meets the bone I'm paper thin, I'm see-through, I'm a ghost in the hall Just waiting for the gravity to catch my final fall Yeah, I'm fragile And you knew it all along [Bridge] [glitchy synth textures, distorted vocal filter] Glitch in the system, a crack in the screen You're the worst nightmare that I've ever seen Reversed voices echoing, spinning in the room A beautiful garden that forgot how to bloom Static in my head where your heartbeat used to be There's nothing left of you And there's nothing left of me [Chorus] [crescendo, powerful vocals] And I'm fragile, breaking like a winter window pane Shattered into pieces by the mention of your name You were the anchor, now you're just the heavy stone Pulling me down where the salt meets the bone I'm paper thin, I'm see-through, I'm a ghost in the hall Just waiting for the gravity to catch my final fall Yeah, I'm fragile And you're the one who broke it all [Outro] [acoustic guitar fades, ambient reverb]
