[Verse 1]
Act like I'm tough, act like I'm fine
But my feet are getting sore from tryna balance on a lie
I think too much, I'm bad at love
And the voice inside my head tears me down until I cry

[Pre-Chorus]
And I think I'm the worst
Every second hurts and I just wanna feel safe
You say that you wanna know
So come on, get real close
You'll see a little sign on my heart that says

[Chorus]
"Handle with care"
'Cause I bruise easily and I'm always comparing myself to what I see
I can't help that I'm fragile and a little bit damaged
I just wanna feel like I'm better than average
It's not fair
Just know you gotta be gentle with me
Handle with care

[Verse 2]
I overthink, I second guess
But if you wanna be with me then, darling, this is what you'll get
You'll have to be patient and you'll have to be kind
'Cause I'm close to breaking
Like all of the time

[Pre-Chorus]
And I think I'm the worst
Every second hurts and I just wanna feel safe
You say that you wanna know
So come on, get real close
You'll see a little sign on my heart that says

[Chorus]
"Handle with care"
'Cause I bruise easily and I'm always comparing myself to what I see
I can't help that I'm fragile and a little bit damaged
I just wanna feel like I'm better than average
It's not fair
Just know you gotta be gentle with me
Handle with care
