I was born a fool in a china cabinet Drawn to the delicate like it's a magnet Perfume bottle on a mirror tray Tempered glass on a windown pane Timeless face on a pocket watch Time is ticking I leave it all in ruins 'Cause I don't know what I'm doing I'm hard on things that matter Hold a heart so tight it shatters So I stay away from things that break Can't make a man a promise With the best of intentions Drive two hundred miles on a rundown engine Put a blanket underneath a hollow tree When the wind blows hard it will fall on me Stick around long and you will see Time is ticking I leave it all in ruins 'Cause I don't know what I'm doing I'm hard on things that matter Hold a heart so tight it shatters So I stay away from things that break Me, I don't ever wanna get too close Or be held responsible For all the pain that you can't see Somebody once broke me I leave it all in ruins 'Cause I don't know what I'm doing I'm hard on things that matter Hold a heart so tight it shatters So I stay away from things that break
