There is a weakness in the knees We are such fragile things Please give her what she needs Protect her, protect her, please She runs, imagining what could come And when she finds a key, she locks it away So many years of doubting self, riding fear She knows what's in her, but she's so afraid to care She dreams to grow, but oh There is a weakness in the knees We are such fragile things What I want, what I need Protect her, protect her, please She hides, while shielding hope from her eyes And when she finds a smile, she calls it luck So many years of doubting self, riding fear She knows what's in her but she's so afraid to care She tries to grow, but oh There is a weakness in the knees We are such fragile things What I want, what I need Protect her, protect her, please
