When We Were Fragile

The world is far too big sometimes
And it makes us feel, every now and then
So insignificant, invisible, almost nothing
It’s hard to say some things out loud

Especially ‘cause certain words
When spoken clear and full of sound
Can suddenly become more real
Because we finally hear ourselves

I’ve hurt myself so many times
Without meaning to at all
And I’ve hurt others just the same
‘Cause I was hurting too, we all fall

When we were fragile
We let ourselves break down
Fall to pieces over nothing
When we were fragile

Sometimes we let ourselves bleed
Over things so small, almost nothing
Just because we don’t know how to hold
Ourselves the way we hold the ones we love

We forget that we are
Our truest, deepest love
The only one we’ll carry
All the way to the end

When we were fragile
We let ourselves break down
Fall to pieces over nothing
When we were fragile

We’ll always be fragile
But now, a little less than yesterday
And sometimes, less than tomorrow

When we were fragile
