Why Things Break

I was the one pulling things apart
To see the pieces move
To see how much damage they could take
I always liked things better than weight

But we are older now
And we have figured it out
I know I should try to fix these things
But I don't know how

Sure, you were beautiful
But in such a deadly way
And you will never tell
What things cost and why things break

I wish I knew why every touch makes a fist of me
A light that shows far too much
So I put up these walls
Something in me to open and close
I don’t know what it is
A silent sigh just could break until now

Sure, you were beautiful
But in such a deadly way
And you will never tell
What things cost and why things break

Sure, you were beautiful
And you will never tell
What things cost and why things grow

You will never tell what things cost and why things break
You will never tell what things cost and why things break
You will never tell what things cost and why things break
