I'm the type of person that needs a "fragile, handle with care" sticker placed on me
I try to take your words with ease
But they just keep slicing into me
I tell myself to stop
It's not a big deal
But words hurt me
Even if they're not meant to
Maybe it's just me
Maybe I need to stop and think
And realize what's being said to me
But I jump to conclusions
I lose myself
With my quick thinking
And all my analogical reasoning
I try to stop, but it's just me
So please, handle me with care
