Things That Break

[verse 1]I was born a fool in a china cabinetDrawn to the delicate like its a magnetPerfume bottle on a mirror trayTempered glass on a windown paneTimeless face on a pocket watchTime is ticking[chorus]I leave it all in ruins'cause I don't know what I'm doingI'm hard on things that matterHold a heart so tight it shattersSo I stay away from things that break[verse 2]Can't make a man a promiseWith the best of intentionsDrive two hundred miles on a rundown enginePut a blanket underneath a hollow treeWhen the wind blows hard it will fall on meStick around long and you will seeTime is ticking[chorus]I leave it all in ruins'cause I don't know what I'm doingI'm hard on things that matterHold a heart so tight it shattersSo I stay away from things that break[bridge]Me, I don't ever wanna get too closeOr be held responsibleFor the pain that you can't seeSomebody once broke me[chorus]I leave it all in ruins'cause I don't know what I'm doingI'm hard on things that matterHold a heart so tight it shattersSo I stay away from things that break
