i always break what’s fragile

April 7th, 2003

so today i’m just gonna post the lyrics to a song. i’ve completely fallen in love with this song and have a sort of emotional attachment to it since it so resembles many episodes of my life, and even the episode in which i currently type on this screen, to some extent. the song was written by Andrew Osenga and is as follows…

beautiful girl

i could not ask for a more beautiful face
i could not dream of truer eyes
i could not want the touch of softer hands
but i also realize
i’m not the man to hold you
and every second more i stay
i become the thief of all the things
that this is not the time to give away

you beautiful girl, beautiful girl

you said you think that i give up too soon
on the nice girls that i find
so we stayed here and we waited
for love to ripen like the wine
did i stay because i’m lonely?
did i stay because i care?
all i know is i would rather take a bullet
than hurt what i hold dear

you beautiful girl, beautiful girl

and the hardest thing is leaving
it’d be so simple just to stay
but the truth it is the loving thing
so it’s best for me to walk away

because i always break what’s fragile

you beautiful girl
