She was always really fragile but it didn't seem to matter
They all ignored the fine print: please do not shatter
Hurt to take the bullets and shield her from disaster
Didn't mean to leave you but she told me to run faster
No one found the pieces to put her back together
Tried to fill their void but it was too deep to measure
No matter how many guys tried to put it aside
She could not mask her pain, she couldn't digest her pride
She could not erase the beginning she could only change the end
All of the boys and all of the men couldn't put her back together again
