Delicately

Original

Always the baby, never the woman.

I've got a tendency to break, I should watch where I'm going.

Careful crying, keep my tears in the cabinet.

I've been told it's ladylike to lock up all of your sadness.

But I don't know,

I kinda like the softness of living with my heart on the line.

So what if I need someone who will handle me delicately, find beauty in the feeling in everything, brave enough to come home again?

So what if there's more to love?

Ooh.

You can take me as I come.

Breaking silence with questions I'm afraid of asking.

I learned that love comes with an ache that's well worth having.

Was never a writer, thought no one would listen.

'Til someone told me the stories stack right up 'til there's no way of keeping it in. And now I know,

I kinda like the softness of living with my heart on the line. Oh.

So what if I need someone who will handle me delicately, find beauty in the feeling in everything, brave enough to come home again?

So what if I need someone who will look at me tenderly, hold me now in revelry, tell me I'm not too much?

So what if there's more to love? Ooh.

You can take me as I come.

Oh.
