You’re holding everything I am It’s barely steady in your hands I try to breathe the best I can But fear slips through the cracks and strands I’ve never been this stripped of skin Or let somebody see The fragile pulse I’m trembling in The softest part of me I didn’t mean to fall this far I didn’t mean to stay Now all my exits are ajar And I don’t know how to run away Don’t break me now, I’m shaking thin Don’t let your fingers slip from mine You’re deeper than you’ve ever been Inside this fragile spine I’m trying hard to let you see How scared I am, don’t break me You kiss me like I might dissolve Like I could fade in air I want to trust the way you solve The quiet in my stare But every time you hold me close My chest forgets to breathe Because I know how endings go They take and never leave If I give any more of me There’s nothing left to save You’re standing where my guard should be And I am not that brave Don’t break me now, I’m shaking thin Don’t let your fingers slip from mine You’re deeper than you’ve ever been Inside this fragile spine I’m trying hard to let you see How scared I am, don’t break me I count the seconds when you’re quiet I study changes in your tone My mind is always starting riots Afraid you’ll leave me alone I want to love without this fear Without the constant ache But every time you pull me near I wonder when I’ll break Don’t break me now, I’m barely whole Don’t let this turn so suddenly You’re holding my unguarded soul Like glass against your body If you feel even half of me Please hold me tight, don’t break me Don't break me Don't break me Don't break me
