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



she reads the minds of all the people that 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



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



it's something i have to do

i was there, too

before everything else

i was like you
