It’s a song just about how fragile he feels. Also he could be talking about the state of his relationship, and how anything could lead to a breakup.
[Verse 1]
It's hard to breathe, my knees are weak
It's a cold bath and I can't feel my feet
Porcelain, it's the state that I'm in
Hold me carefully, just one breath could shatter me
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you and I were one of a kind
Unbreakable, how was I supposed to find
Out that I'd crumble
[Chorus]
Porcelain
Porcelain
[Verse 2]
It's a small cry that is screaming inside
It's a paper cut that is bleeding me dry
Porcelain, it's the state that I'm in
Hold me carefully, just one breath could shatter me
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you and I we're one of a kind
Unbreakable, how was I supposed to find
Out that I'd crumble
[Chorus]
Porcelain
Porcelain
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you and I we're one of a kind
Unbreakable, how was I supposed to find
Out that I'd crumble
[Chorus]
Porcelain
Porcelain
Porcelain
Porcelain
[Outro]
Porcelain, it's the state that I'm in
Hold me carefully, just one breath could shatter me
