FRAGILE THINGS

The door was unlocked

The TV was on

The foundation's here, but the magic is gone

I let you in then you let it all decay

The lights are burnt out

The flowers are dead

Somehow I'm still s'posed to sleep in this bed

Gave you a key but I couldn't make you stay

But I'm still glad you came to visit

Love is like a house of fragile things

Where hearts can be broken as easy as antiques

And now there's glass all shattered at my feet

What we built together, you left in smithereens

I'll paint all the walls a fresh coat of blue

But I'll never cover the memory of you

Watching me sleep, dancing on your feet always

I'll replace the floors, whatever I do

The ghost of you will always live in these rooms

You get to leave, I don't have that luxury

But I'm still glad you came to visit

Love is like a house of fragile things

Where hearts can be broken as easy as antiques

And now there's glass all shattered at my feet

What we built together, you left in smithereens

Love is like a house of fragile things

Where hearts can be broken as easy as antiques
