Lyrics Walking on Eggshells - Fish

Walking on Eggshells

The blood drips from his finger
That he cut upon the broken glass from the photo frame
Her portrait that he loves, she stamped upon the floor
The piercing shards of porcelain
From dinner plates that served her rage
The fury from somewhere out of nowhere
The statement on the wall
Vitriolic barrage, the endless stream of characters
The blame game, the shaming, th acidic accusations
All they have are shattred doors, mirrors smashed
The images retained in an unbroken circle
Walking on eggshells, walking on eggshells
The trigger point is here
Trapped inside the wreckage
Try to extricate himself and salvage pride
A perspective on his life, hide the suffering inside
Sentenced to her silence, his heart roars in the darkness
Aching for her contact, praying for her call
Walking on eggshells, walking on egg-shells
The trigger point is here
She knows he’ll always love her, her trust he won’t betray
Despite her bleak misgivings all his feelings still remain
The door is always open, a bed is always there
A roof to fly above her, a harbour for her fears
He’s always there for you, she’s always there for you
He could never live without her, he could never walk away
He can only hope for healing and hope for better days
He’ll replace the broken china, repair the broken frame
Count the days and blessings till she’s home again
He’s always there for you, she’s always there for you
There for you, she’s always there for you
There for you, he’s always there for you
He recognised the face, disarming smile
The veiled questions that he senses put in place to search out lies
To trick or treat him
Walking on eggshells, walking on eggshells
The trigger point is here
So here they are again, confusing dark emotions
Mesmerising eyes, the dancing conversations
Here I go again writing my lines
So here I go again writing my lines
Where a word trips out of place, a careless detonation
Left here once again in the wreckage, digging out the dream
Here I am again confused with dark emotions
Here I go again, dancing conversations
Walking on eggshells, walking on eggshells
Walking on eggshells, walking on eggshells
I’m always there for you
I’m always here for you
