C&#039;est la vie.<br /> Love is a fragile thing, and sometimes we are not it&#039;s best caretakers. All we can do is muddle through it, and hope that this fragile thing lasts.

In this place
There is an angry face

There are cracks in the floor
A hole in the door

Shadows in the corners
Full for the mourners

Unhinged windows
This place oh so hollow

With walls so thin
My heart is bleeding in

Windows that blink
Walls that think

A door who speaks
But not a mouse squeaks

In this place
There is a lonely face
