In your hands lies something special
At least it's special to me
You don't realize what you've got
You don't know how much it means
In your hands lies something fragile
Even now it's threatening to break
Scared to be in this position
My heart knows everything that's at stake
It should feel comfortable in your hands
But instead it feels scared
'Cause you're too blind to see what's in your hand
You don't know my heart's there
Squeeze it too hard, it will shatter
Blood oozing everywhere
Hold it too loose, and you'll drop it
And here lies my despair
You're capable of holding it right
You and your glow of grace
But face it, how could you be tender
With something you've misplaced?
With you and your ignorance
My heart's doomed to break
Let's just get it over with
Please, for my sake
Or would it be better
To live in this fantasy
Where my heart's unbroken
Where there's hope for you and me
I don't know, but wherever
Fate decides for me to land
Keep in mind, or perhaps don't
My heart remains in your hands

Yeah. Hopefully are student body's stronger than you are, or they'll all be in tears when the paper comes out... Mrs. Reece needs to be less nosy!
