“Frail Love” marks the beginning of Cloves debut album, XIII EP. Cloves regretted and begged for mercy as an attempt to recover a broken relationship through captivating vocal and desolate piano arrangement which amplifies the repentance she experienced.
[Verse 1]
Silence is what I fear
Are you, are you here?
A tide of tears appeared for you, my love
Kinder, you're kinder than me
I'm broken, don't know what you see
I'll give you all I have to give, my love
[Pre-Chorus]
I understand you thinking ohh
Our lies are better than the truth
[Chorus]
But I can't live it like I'm living
I can’t live a lie
I'm giving up more than I should
Forgive me for my frail love
And I can't live it like I'm living
I can't wait up nights
So tell me once and it's enough
Forgive me for my frail love
[Verse 2]
Shallow, you're deeper than me
I'll follow my one and only
You give me all you have to give, my love
[Pre-Chorus]
I understand you thinking, oh
Our lies are better than the truth
[Chorus]
But I can't live it like I'm living
I can't live a lie
I'm giving up more than I should
Forgive me for my frail love
And I can't live it like I'm living
I can't wait up nights
So tell me once and it's enough
Forgive me for my frail love
[Bridge]
Borderline
I'm walking that borderline
Give me some strength of mind
To hold on to you
Borderline
So close to that borderline
Just let me buy some time
To prove me to you
[Chorus]
But I can't live it like I'm living
I can’t live a lie
I'm giving up more than I should
Forgive me for my frail love
And I can't live it like I'm living
I can't wait up nights
So tell me once and it's enough
Forgive me for my frail love

Noisey: “Frail Love” is one of the most gorgeous, simple love songs I’ve ever heard. Was that a difficult song to write?
It’s kind of open for interpretation. It can be about anything forgiveness-wise. It’s really about forgiveness—it can be a friend, relationship, not putting the toilet seat down...
