Fragile Days

Sorry I can't come around tonight,

I know you boys are waiting on me.

It's not that I don't wanna be there,

I'm just not who I want you to see.

I've got too much going on inside,

And I don't know how to let it out.

I'd rather miss a night with you Than let my problems drag

you down.

'Cause I don't wanna bring you down,

Don't wanna make my problems yours.

You deserve the best of me,

And right now I don't know where that boy is anymore.

I keep telling myself I'm not enough,

Like I'm something you could do without.

So if I keep my distance for a little while,

It's only 'cause I don't wanna bring you down.

You call, I stare at my phone,

Trying to find the words to say.

I don't want you asking what's wrong,

'Cause I don't know how to explain.

My head keeps telling me I'm failing,

That I'm letting everybody down.

And the last thing that I could ever want Is for my

hurt to hurt you now.

But if you see me getting quiet,

Please don't think I stopped caring.

I'm just trying to put myself back together Before I start falling

apart around you. You boys mean more than you know,

And that's why I'm scared to let you in.

I'm afraid you'll see the mess inside And decide

I'm not worth keeping.

I don't wanna bring you down,

But I don't wanna lose you either.

Maybe I don't have to hide every broken piece Just to keep

you in my life.

Maybe being your friend isn't something

I have to earn by being okay.

Maybe I'm enough just as I am,

Even on my worst days.

So I'm sorry I can't hang tonight,

But please don't take it as goodbye.

I'm just trying to find a little peace Inside this head of

mine.

And when I find my way back around,

I hope you'll still be there somehow.

I don't want to bring you down—

I just don't want to lose you now.
