Frail Lyrics

You want me to be brave

But I don't know how

To summon that kind of courage

To do what you say

Is good for me will take

More than I know I can do



I don't know why

You ask so much of me

Of anyone in my life, you know how I fail

But you put this in my hand

A promise I should keep

And I don't want to carry something heavy



You should know

It's not just these hands that fail

But this heart just gets so weak

I'm trying to show

That I want to give you more

But I don't think I can do it alone



I don't understand when you say I don't

Have to be all that strong to make it

'Cause the things you ask of me

Are hard and costly

And seem to take more than I have to give



You should know

It's not just these hands that fail

But this heart just gets so weak

I'm trying to show

That I want to give you more

But I don't think I can do it alone



You are here, you're holding my hand

And you say, "My dear, you don't understand"



"I never meant for you to do this on your own,"

You say, "My dear, I'll take you there,

Then I will bring you home."
