fragile

Ben Folds

You re only sorry when you ve been called out
I m suddenly sane when I stand my ground
And you have made such a mess with no worry, no thought
Here come the tears now that you ve been caught

Afraid to confront you when you re so child-like
You pull no punches and I absorb them
Just when I ve had enough, just before I might crack
You make me smile and I take all of those thoughts back

Something so fragile about you
It s how you get away with what you do
It s like crash, boom, oops
Did I break that tooth?
I almost believe you

And just when I d had enough, and I thought I might leave
Rather than hurt you, I d let you hurt me

Something so fragile about you
It s how you get away with what you do
It s like you re someone else
And when you come to
Your eyes well up
Oops, did I break that tooth?
And I almost believe you

Something so fragile about you
It s like I blacked out for a year and woke up with you
With a crash, boom, oops
Did I break that tooth?
