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.

You've been strong
For far to long
My little tin soldier
...Stacking up on their orders
How your eyes do ignite
A wild fire beneath my surface
Tell me here, Tell me now
What goes through your head
When you see my name
Little tin soldier
You can't run from the monsters under your bed forever
Lies in your thoughts
Will only take you so far
My tin soldier
So answer me this
What secrets do you hide
Beyond your lips
