[Verse 1]
My heart's in a box, no lock and no key
Emotions on display for everyone to see
Careful, if you drop me, I might just shatter
There's nothin' you can do that'll make me feel better
All it takes is just one small crack
It grows until I'm no longer intact
Call me sensitive, call me shy
If only they could see the world through my eyes
[Chorus]
The words they said went straight to my head
Holding back tears, can't let them see me upset
I hate that this is who I've always been
You'll break me easily like porcelain
[Verse 2]
Turn something small into a big deal
Overthink 'til I don't know how to feel
I'm fragile, can't they see I get hurt effortlessly?
Surrounded by bubble wrap, making me less weak
Maybe it's 'cause I've been through a lot
But shouldn't that make me just a little more tough?
I know I'm super self-aware
Keep my mouth shut, don't wanna overshare
[Chorus]
The words they said went straight to my head
Holding back tears, can't let them see me upset
I hate that this is who I've always been
You'll break me easily like porcelain
[Bridge]
Just for a moment, everything seems fine
But in that moment, I feel like I might cry
Just for a moment, everything seems fine
But in that moment, I feel like I might cry
[Chorus]
The words they said went to my head (Just for a moment)
Can't let them see me upset (Everything seems fine)
The words they said went to my head (But in that moment)
Can't let them see me upset (I feel like I might cry)
The words they said went to my head (Just for a moment)
Emotions on display for everyone to see
Can't let them see me upset (Everything seems fine)
The words they said went to my head (But in that moment)
Just like porcelain, they'll break me so easily
Can't let them see me upset (I feel like I might cry)
[Outro]
Please don't break me, please don't break me
Please don't break me, please
Please don't break me, please don't break me
Please don't break me
But the only one who can break me is me
