 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Convinced of my deception 
I've always been a fool 
I fear this love reaction 
Just like you said I would 

A rose could never lie 
About the love it brings 
And I could never promise 
To be any of those things 

[Chorus]
If I was not so weak 
If I was not so cold 
If I was not so scared of being broken 
Growing old 
I would be
I would be
I would be

Blessed are the shallow 
Depth they'll never find 
Seemed to be some comfort 
In rooms I try to hide 

Exposed beyond the shadows 
You take the cup from me 
Your dirt removes my blindness 
Your pain becomes my peace 

[Chorus] 

Frail
