Ever felt like you're just destined to break everything you touch? Miranda Lambert captures this feeling perfectly in her heartfelt lyrics. The song tells the story of someone who feels inherently clumsy with delicate things, both physical and emotional. She describes herself as being drawn to fragile beauty but inevitably causing destruction due to her own insecurities and past heartbreaks. This leads her to avoid getting close to people or making promises she fears she can't keep. It's a poignant reflection on how past wounds can make us cautious, even when we crave connection and love.
Things That Break
Lyrics
I was born a fool in a china cabinet
Drawn to the delicate like it's a magnet
Perfume bottle on a mirror tray
Tempered glass on a windown pane
Timeless face on a pocket watch
Time is ticking
I leave it all in ruins
'Cause I don't know what I'm doing
I'm hard on things that matter
Hold a heart so tight it shatters
So I stay away from things that break
Can't make a man a promise
With the best of intentions
Drive two hundred miles on a rundown engine
Put a blanket underneath a hollow tree
When the wind blows hard it will fall on me
Stick around long and you will see
Time is ticking
I leave it all in ruins
'Cause I don't know what I'm doing
I'm hard on things that matter
Hold a heart so tight it shatters
So I stay away from things that break
Me, I don't ever wanna get too close
Or be held responsible
For all the pain that you can't see
Somebody once broke me
I leave it all in ruins
'Cause I don't know what I'm doing
I'm hard on things that matter
Hold a heart so tight it shatters
So I stay away from things that break
