Tread Lightly.... (Quatern)

Please tread lightly upon my heart
for the pieces break with such ease
Bringing painful tears to my eyes
As I fall down upon my knees

Holding the softest part of me
Please tread lightly upon my heart
For words can cut so easily
Ripping my perfect world apart

Divulging my innermost soul
All I shall ever ask of thee
Please tread lightly upon my heart
For you could be my destiny

So take my hand and all of me
We'll begin a triumphant start
Wandering through eternity
Please tread lightly upon my heart
