(Verse 1)
I found you broken, standing in the rain
Your fragile hands were shaking in the pain
A boy of silence, carved from fragile clay
I tried to hold you, but you slipped away
(Pre-Chorus)
And every touch, it cracks your skin
I see the storm you’re drowning in
You’re so soft, but the world’s too hard
You’re a fragile heart…
(Chorus)
Menino de barro, falling apart in my arms
I try to keep you, but I can’t stop the scars
Your body trembles, like it’s made out of glass
Menino de barro, how long will you last?
(Verse 2)
Your eyes are oceans, heavy with the night
You whisper secrets you can’t hold inside
I kiss your lips, they taste of fear and dust
A fleeting moment, a love that turns to rust
(Pre-Chorus)
And when you breathe, it feels so slow
Like any second you could go
You’re so soft, but the world’s too hard
You’re a fragile heart…
(Chorus)
Menino de barro, falling apart in my arms
I try to keep you, but I can’t stop the scars
Your body trembles, like it’s made out of glass
Menino de barro, how long will you last?
(Bridge)
If I could paint you stronger
If I could keep you whole
But the cracks get deeper,
And they swallow your soul…
(Chorus – Final)
Menino de barro, fading away in my arms
I tried to love you, but I can’t heal the scars
Your body trembles, your silence won’t pass
Menino de barro… you were never built to last.
(Outro – whispered)
Menino de barro…
I hold the pieces of you…
In my hands.
