[Intro:]

(La, la, la, la, ah)

(La, la, ah ha, la)

(La, la, la, la, la, ah)

[Verse 1:]

And she was always so defensive

Like nothing was ever her fault, or her responsibility

[Chorus:]

And this is all I have left to hold

A delicate balance has been exposed

And now it towers around us all

Just goes to show life is so fragile

[Verse 2:]

She used to smile when, she'd say

"It's all so meaningless, anyway

So just forget, forget it"

And she was always so, morose

Like this was all some bitter joke

But no one was laughing

[Chorus:]

And this is all I have left to hold

A delicate balance has been exposed

And now it towers around us all

Just goes to show life is so fragile

[Instrumental Break:]

[Verse 3:]

And now when we speak about her

We never use the present tense, I guess that's what happens

[Chorus:]

And this is all I have left to hold

A delicate balance has been exposed

And now it towers around us all

Just goes to show life is so fragile

And this is all I have left to hold

A delicate balance has been exposed

And now it towers around us all

Just goes to show life is so fragile
