Four o'clock in the morning

I close my eyes and consider you

Is this some kind of warning

To let me know you're just passing through my life?

It's a good place to be

For someone like you to take solace in me

This is my fragile reality

For someone as eager as you

Can break me in threes

And break through my needs

To get to the dirt

You learned how to hurt... me



Six o'clock in the evening

I brush my hair and will you to know

Is this some kind of teasing?

And are you prepared to be half as true as you try,

As you try hard to be?

Someone so cautious and careful and free

And why are you waiting for me?

You're steady and stable and able to be close to me

I'm strapped to my seat

The tables have turned

You know how they burn right through me



Why do you wrestle with my right to be different from you?

Why do you settle for me if it's not what you wanted to do?

I'm fragile too

I'm fragile too

I'm fragile too

Only with you



Four o'clock in the morning

I hold your head and take care of you

Are these symptoms of touring?

Did someone you love leave you black and blue?



Sometime, somewhere I'll never be

Aware of misfortunes and torture and grief

This life is a good place to be

For someone as fragile as you

I'm fragile too

I'm fragile too

I'm fragile too

But only with you

Only with you



I'm fragile too

But only with you

Only with you



I'm fragile too

But only with you



I'm fragile too (7x)

But only with you

Only with you



I'm fragile too

But only with you.
