LYRICS:
It aint no China cup, - but its delicate just the same
Tiny cracks in the surface, crooked whispers on masquerade
Precious imperfections beauty lines
Some are yours, and some are mine

Moment you brushed by, it was etched in like stone
Heard the voices cryin, cryin out, if you break it - its yours, its yours, its yours
Apparition fadin music dies
I wish youd come back - I wish youd try

CHORUS:
This is why theres sad songs, its why they sing the blues
Dont know who done wrong, but its just so hard, to want someone,
who dont want you
Do do do.oh oh oh oh
Ba ba ba ..

VERSE
Figure 8s invisible, one turn for every breath,
Fingertips in moonlight, touchin those fadin silhouettes
Distance creepin oh so slow, I held your hand & watched it grow

Heart strings they taper down, to tiny warn out threads
When I saw them hangin there, oh-oh-oh-I should have known the rest
Taste o your breath still aint gone, Im not so good at this movin on

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
And I- I- I would never lay
Would never ever ever lay no blame youre
Beautiful, youre so beautiful, and that aint gonna change - ya

CHORUS
