I was born a bull in a china cabinet

Drawn to the delicate like it's a magnet

Perfume bottles on a mirror tray

Tempered glass on a window pane

Timeless face on a pocket watch

Time is ticking.

I leave it all in ruins

Cause I don't know what I'm doing

I'm hard on things that matter

Hold a heart so tight it shatters

So I stay away from things that break.

Can't make a man a promise with the best of intentions

Or drive 200 miles on a rundown engine

Put a blanket underneath a hollow tree

When the wind blows hard it will fall on me

Stick around long enough and you will see

Time is ticking.

I leave it all in ruins

Cause I don't know what I'm doing

I'm hard on things that matter

Hold a heart so tight it shatters

So I stay away from things that break.

Me I don't ever wanna get to close

Or be held responsible

For all the pain that you receive

Somebody once broke me.

I leave it all in ruins

Cause I don't know what I'm doing

I'm hard on things that matter

Hold a heart so tight it shatters

So I stay away from things that break.
