Brittle Songtext
von Icon for Hire

I′m rough around the edges
Mistake me for pretentious
I get stuck in my head
It's not personal, it′s just personal
I've been strong for too long
Sometimes I forget why I'm trying
I′m trying, I′m trying

I'm just a statistic
Just another tragic misfit
Ship that cliché to the clinic
Document my disposition
Then they put me in a box
Slap a label on the top
Tape me up and ship me off
Now I′m someone else's problem


They call me damaged
I let them think what they like
They call me difficult
′Cause I don't fit in the lines
But I didn′t get this far without any scars
I'm not brittle
Well, maybe just a little
A little

I'm not brittle

If I get defensive
Don′t say I′m oversensitive
Maybe I have a tendency to snap on people telling me
"You fit inside this box we built, we know you better than yourself"
They're lying, they′re lying, they're lying

I′m just a statistic
Just another tragic misfit
Ship that cliché to the clinic
Document my disposition
Then they put me in a box
Slap a label on the top
Tape me up and ship me off
Now I'm someone else′s problem


They call me damaged
I let them think what they like
They call me difficult
'Cause I don't fit in the lines
But I didn′t get this far without any scars
I′m not brittle
Well, maybe just a little
A little

I'm not brittle

I tell myself
Keep breathing, don′t lose focus
I'm alive, I′m not a diagnosis
Keep breathing, don't lose focus
Keep breathing, don′t lose focus
You're alive, you're not a diagnosis
Keep breathing, don′t lose focus
I′m not a diagnosis

They call me damaged
I let them think what they like
They call me difficult
'Cause I don′t fit in the lines
But I didn't get this far without any scars
I′m not brittle
Well, maybe just a little
A little

They call me damaged
But they can think what they like
They call me difficult
'Cause I don′t fit in the lines
But I didn't get this far without any scars
I'm not brittle
Well, maybe just a little
A little
I′m not brittle
I′m not brittle

Keep breathing
Don't lose focus
