Delicate Lyrics

by Kina Grannis

You said, 'Be careful, it's delicate
Things can just crumble apart.'
But it's not the same for me
It's not the same for me

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e65216-kina_grannis~delicate_lyrics.html ]
I kept treading so carelessly
Thin lines that splintered my ground
But I closed my eyes to them
I closed my eyes to them

And how did you know that I couldn't be what everyone wanted me to be?
And how did you know that I wouldn't see when everything falls away from me?
When everything falls away from me

One day I woke in the rubble
Knee-deep in damage I'd done
And I was ashamed of it
How did it come to this?

And how did you know that I couldn't be what everyone wanted me to be?
And how did you know that I wouldn't see when everything falls away from me?
When everything falls away from me
[x2]
When everything falls away from me
