Fragile

Because I cannot carry all of this
And because you need to know
For every bit I have given you
Two more in its place do grow

What a coy little liar I have been
And all my days beforehand
Wanting nothing more than to be honest
Hoping you would understand

All my demons are very much aware;
Alive, and they are waiting
Ever at the ready to take from me
Pleasures I have been baiting

For all that I am standing before you
I never want you to see
Because my secrets-they would destroy you
Just as they have done to me
