Lyrics for The Fragile

She shines In a world full of ugliness She matters When everything is meaningless Fragile She doesn't see her beauty She tries to get away Sometimes It's just that nothing seems worth saving I can't watch her slip away I won't let you fall apart I won't let you fall apart I won't let you fall apart I won't let you fall apart She reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by Hoping someone can see If I could fix myself I'd But it's too late for me I won't let you fall apart I won't let you fall apart I won't let you fall apart I won't let you fall apart We'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide I'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side But they keep waiting and picking, and picking, and picking And picking, and picking, and picking And picking, and picking, and picking It's something I have to do (I won't let you fall apart) I was there, too (I won't let you fall apart) Before everything else (I won't let you fall apart) I was like you (I won't let you fall apart)
