Fragile Things Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 supposed to sleep in this bed
Gave you a key, but I couldn't make you stay

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm still glad you came to visit
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
I'll paint all the walls a fresh coat of blue
But I'll never cover the memory of you Watchin' me sleep, dancin' 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

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm still glad you came to visit

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Love is like a house of fragile things
Where hearts can be broken as easy as antiques
And—
