Lyrics

a million breakable things
by William Brooks and Carter Bays

I stepped so deeply into her room
a million breakable things
two comfortable strangers finally alone
a million breakable things

She began to trace her life like a finger on a map
a million breakable things
Shells and shadows and Shakespeare under glass
a million breakable things

and I could not look away
no, i would not look away

She laughed at losses just like gifts bound up in twine
a million breakable things
She alone had found the truth and was handing it to me
a million breakable things

and I could not turn away
no, I would not turn away

By the end of her story I knew it was also mine
a million breakable things
I knew my choice was clear, I could love or leave
a million breakable things

and I could not walk away
no, I would not walk away

She stepped so deeply into me
a million breakable things
