A Fragile Thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's too late now for me to just forget
I never thought I’d lead you to regret all I ever was
All this time alone has left me cold inside and lost
Yeah, every time you kiss me I could cry
Don't tell me how you miss me
I could die tomorrow of a broken heart
This loneliness will change, and we feel too far apart
Nothing you can say to change it back she said
Nothing you can do to but sing
This song is a fragile thing
Nothing you can do to turn it back she said
Nothing you can do to turn it back she said
Nothing you can do but sing
This song is a fragile thing
This song is my everything
But nothing you can do to change the end
There’s nothing you can do… Every time you leave me is a lie she said
You make believe you need me, but you try too hard
And I feel so wrong
You promised me forever, and say we all belong
But it’s too late now for me to just forget
I never thought I’d lead you to regret all I ever was
But all this time alone has left me cold inside and lost
Yeah, every time you need me is a lie
You make believe you need me, but you try too hard I feel so wrong
You promised me forever, and say it won’t be long
There’s nothing I can do to change it back she said
Nothing you can do to but sing, this song is a fragile thing
Nothing you can do now but pretend again
Nothing you can do to change it back she said
Nothing you can do to but sing
This song is a fragile thing
This song is my everything
Nothing you can do to change the end
There’s nothing you can do to change the end
