A grain of sand held in your hand
In time a pane of glass
It shimmers in the morning light
Such beauty in your grasp
So easy for you to be the best
But you don't really win at all
One day you'll be the broken one
So catch them when they fall
Catch them if they fall
Catch them if they fall
The weight bears down upon your neck
You bend and warp and break
It won't be long before you smash
Pressure is all it takes
So easy for you to be the best
But you don't really win at all
One day you'll be the broken one
So catch them when they fall
Catch them if they fall
Catch them if they fall
A painful step across the floor
Across the shards and dirt
You've never felt this way before
No one listens when it hurts
So easy for you to be the best
But you don't really win at all
One day you'll be the broken one
So catch them when they fall
Catch them if they fall
Catch them if they fall
The molten rock that gave you life
Now burns with incandescence
It cools you grow then fade away
All that stands, your essence
So easy for you to be the best
But you don't really win at all
One day you'll be the broken one
So catch them when they fall
Catch them if they fall
Catch them if they fall
Catch them if they fall
Catch them if they fall
