V1
People stroke the surface
appreciate the art
Think they must be gentle
or I may fall apart
but they are wrong, so wrong, so wrong
Chorus
I had a fragile hope
A delicate dream
But don’t think I can be broken
I am stronger than I seem

V2
If only they’d look closer
Look into my eyes of steel
They’d see the scars I’m hiding
Of hurts I won’t reveal

V3
I know they think I’m delicate
A child in a woman’s frame
But taking knocks and falling down
Are really not the same

and they are wrong, so wrong, so wrong

Bridge
for I am ....like the willow tree
always supple and thick skinned
And if you look close you will see
I bend and sway in the wind

Chorus
I had a fragile hope
A delicate dream
But don’t think you can break me
I am stronger than I seem

No, don’t think that you can break me
I am stronger than I seem
