you ask me why i love you, such a plain jane
why when there are tinkerbells
just out there for the taking
that i can hang upon my chain
it's not because you're glamorous
or you know the fashion scene
it's not because i need to hang you like a painting
or wear you like ring
it's the brave things that you say
when the wolves are at your gate
and that tough face that you make
it's the white knuckles on your fist
and the scare above your lip
oh baby your not fragile
i've had my time with crystal baby
sitting too close to the edge
so when you ask me do i think that you look pretty
you know the reason i say yes
it's the brave things that you say
when the wolves are at your gate
and the tough face that you make
it's the world that caves you i
and you laugh and get back up again
oh baby you're not fragile
cold soldier's grin
battle marks on your skin
no bodyguard
only who you are
