“Fragile” is the third single from Hunter Hayes' Evergreen, and unlike previous singles “Around The Sun” and “Wait,” “Fragile” isn’t musically upbeat, rather very vulnerable and deep—a calm yet familiar atmosphere for Hayes' music.
Hayes first officially teased the song in a TikTok post on July 31,...
[Verse 1]
Concrete skyscraper
Only lined with glass
Stand tall, act strong
Hide your shattered past
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been every kind of hurt
Felt every kind of pain
I've never been so vulnerable
And never felt so safe
[Chorus]
You could break me into pieces if you wanted to
You could take all of my secrets, girl, I can't stop you
So scared to get so close, I have always been so careful
But with you, I feel safe to be fragile
Yeah, with you, it's okay if I'm fragile
[Verse 2]
Gracefully, patiently
Handle me with care
Safe place to grasp
When I'm fallin' through thin air
[Pre-Chorus]
I've known every kind of run
And every reason why
Somehow all of my skeletons
Have never changed your mind
[Chorus]
You could break me into pieces if you wanted to
You could take all of my secrets, girl, and I can't stop you
So scared to get so close, I have always been so careful
But with you, I feel safe to be fragile
Yeah, with you, it's okay if I'm fragile
[Post-Chorus]
If I'm fragile (Yeah)
If I'm fragile, yeah
[Bridge]
All my sins, all my faults
You're still here, you still love me
Still love me through it all
All my weakness and all my shame
You've seen it all, and somehow
You'll love me the same
[Chorus]
You could break me into pieces if you wanted to
You could take all of my secrets, oh, and I can't stop you
So scared to get so close, I have always been so careful
But with you, I feel safe to be fragile
[Outro]
(You could break me into pieces if you wanted to) If you wanted to, if you wanted to
(You could take all of my secrets, girl, I can't stop you) Can't stop you, no I can't stop you
So scared to get so close, I have always been so careful
But with you, I feel safe to be fragile
Yeah, with you, it's okay if I'm fragile
