Delicate Lyrics by Scott Quinn

2016

VERSE 1

Broken skin, shattered bones, worn out eyes and tired souls
But did you live for something?
What did you live for?
Did you love or did you fight?
Did you fear the darkest nights?
Tell me what you lived for
Tell me what you lived for
When you drew your last breath
Was there someone there beside you?
Or did you work yourself to death?
For a man who'll never know your name?
We're always fast to forget
We're not built like vast machines,
But brittle glass just made to wreck, to wreck
So remember, remember, just remember

CHORUS

How delicate we are
Yeah
Delicate we are
Oh, yeah
How delicate we are
Oh, yeah
Delicate we are
Delicate we are

VERSE 2

Broken heart, shattered hope
So worn out, to tired to cope
Is this what you live for?
Is this what you live for?
We're only human, hurt the same
You’re not a number, you have a name
I’ll tell you what to live for
I’ll tell you what to live for
When you draw your last breath
Make sure there's someone there beside you
And don’t work yourself to death
For a man who'll never know your name?
Don't be fast to forget
We're not built like vast machines,
But brittle glass just made to wreck, to wreck
So remember, remember, just remember
How delicate we are
Yeah
Delicate we are
Oh, yeah
How delicate we are
Oh, yeah
Delicate we are
Delicate we are
How delicate we are
Yeah
Delicate we are
Oh, yeah
Delicate we are
Oh, yeah
Delicate we are
Delicate we are
