a rose could never lie
about the love it brings
and i could never promise
to be any of those things

CHORUS:

if i was not so weak
if i was not so cold
if i was not so scared of being broken
growing old
i would be
i would be
i would be

blessed are the shallow
depth they'll never find
seemed to be some comfort
in rooms i try to hide

exposed beyond the shadows
you take the cup from me
your dirt removes my blindness
your pain becomes my peace

[CHORUS]

frail
