Act like I'm tough act like I'm fine
But my feet are getting sore from tryna balance on a lie
I think too much I'm bad at love
And the voice inside my head tears me down until I cry

And I think I'm the worst
Every second hurts and I just wanna feel safe

You say that you wanna know
So come on get real close
You’ll see a little sign on my heart that says

Handle with care
'Cause I bruise easily
And I'm always comparing
Myself to what I see
I can't help that I'm fragile and a little bit damaged
I just wanna feel like I'm better than average
It's not fair
Just know you gotta be gentle with me
Handle with care

I overthink I second guess
But if you wanna be with me than darling this is what you’ll get
You’ll have to be patient
And you’ll have to be kind
'Cause I'm close to breaking
Like all of the time

And I think I'm the worst
Every second hurts and I just wanna feel safe
You say that you wanna know
So come on get real close
You’ll see a little sign on my heart that says

Handle with care
'Cause I bruise easily
And I'm always comparing
Myself to what I see
I can't help that I'm fragile and a little bit damaged
I just wanna feel like I'm better than average
It's not fair
Just know you gotta be gentle with me
Handle with care
