Fragile Fairytale

My hand was in your hand,

So was my heart, baby

And it beat real fast when

I told meself, Maybe

Maybe this is my own

Sweet little fairytale.

I close my eyes and breathe.

Just try: Inhale. Exhale.

You were perfect, perfect

The sunshine to my sky,

You gave me fragile wings

And taught me how to fly.

Started in September

And we'd dance in the rain,

I tried to be perfect,

Tried, but I was so vain.

Now the sunshine fades out

In this blue atmosphere

Should have known I'd crumble,

But it took me all year.

Should have listened to you

When I tried to be deep

I fell over myself,

Took too big of a leap.

The storm to your clear sky,

I didn't know fragile broke

Waiting for you to smile,

Couldn't see through the smoke.

Tried to find perfection

And make it my whole life.

Now all that's left is me,

Alone to say goodbye.

Keep the days I gave you

But I think you should know,

Despite all the love songs,

I'm gonna let you go

My hand was in your hand,

And so was my heart, babe.

Thought I was strong although

I wanted to be saved

By you, rescued by you

Tried to warn me I'd break

But I wanted to live,

So I made some mistakes.

Put my heart in your hands,

Gave you all of my love,

At the edge of a cliff,

Guess I gave you a shove

So I won't sleep tonight.

Fragile wings are breaking,

Can't save me after all.

I'm just now awaking

To shadows on the wall.
