This is the most personal song that I have written and recorded in a very long time. Every line comes from my heart and has some personal meaning. One of my closest friends cried when I played it for her, because she understood the song as it related to me.

Fragile

Written by: Cara Young

I'm fragile
Even though I try
To act tough
I'm delicate
Even though I seem
A little rough

Don't judge me by my looks
Don't judge me by my thoughts
Don't judge me by my words
You know that it's just talk
Judge me, judge me by my heart

I'm sensitive
Although at times
I may be cruel
I'm intelligent
But sometimes
I act like a fool

Don't judge me by clothes
You know it's just my look
Don't judge me with those words
You're quoting from that book
Judge me, judge me by my heart

Bridge:
If you're gonna start throwing stones
You better make sure you don't have faults of your own
Before you go around pointing fingers
You better be sure
That you're pure
And I'm sure
That you're not pure

I'm responsible
Although I've made
Some bad decisions
I'm no angel
But my actions
Are none of your business

Don't judge me by my past
And things I can't undo
You probably just don't know
The things that I've been through
Judge me by the woman
You see in front of you

Don't judge me by my looks
Don't judge me by my thoughts
Don't judge me by my words
You know that it's just talk
Judge me, judge me by my heart

Judge me, judge me by my heart

If you must judge me
At all..........
