Walking down the stairs at night And hope that I don't break my leg Like you did when I was seven They took you to the hospital A little disappointed that they didn't put the lights on You told me not to touch the chairs It's just that there were sick people on there We're all afraid of touching those things now I'll listen to your breaths They're fragile Gotta keep it down So the sound can't blow it out A fire burned outside our house I didn't like the smoke alarms So I made you take the batteries out Didn't sleep the same for years When I started waking up death ringing in my ears Stayed up all night until I heard the birds had woke I knew that they'd protect me from going up in smoke Tell me it's okay I'm fragile I don't want to blame you But what else can I do? I think I cried for three days straight When they told me there's an asteroid heading for Earth somedat Now I don't remember why When I spend my whole life just waiting to die Hold me in your arms We're fragile Take a last look around As it burns to the ground
