My Collapsing Frame

Would you do that
If it really meant
They would see you
And would be convinced
That you love me
And you didn't care
Who knew it?

Please believe me
When I say it's true
I have never felt
As close to you, or anyone
As I do right now
And I'm begging you
Please don't leave yet

And this moment's glass
In a fragile state
I've convinced myself
That it won't crack or break
Like a heart
In the winter

When the air is cold
And your words, the same
I know them, I know them
I am broken, I am wounded
Watch as my fragile frame collapses
Collapses on me, on me
But it's not your fault
You never meant to hurt me
You hurt

And when it's five a.m.
And you're too tired to ever sleep
Well there's no rest for the lonely
I hope I die in my sleep

There's never been
Such hopelessness
Or devotion, or devotion
Or devotion, what's devotion?
