Vulnerable

The speaker describes loving someone who seems emotionally delicate but difficult to understand. At first, he sees signs of closeness: her smile, her touch, and the dreams they share. Yet when night comes, his sense of certainty breaks down, and he is left puzzled by her feelings. The song moves between tenderness and confusion rather than reaching a clear resolution.

The comparison “like china in my hands” suggests that he sees her as fragile and fears that even an accidental mistake could hurt her. The repeated image of a riddle means her heart feels hard to read. “Don’t hide your eyes” may be a plea for her to stop withdrawing and face him honestly, though it does not explain what she is hiding.

The speaker says he could never hurt the person he loves, but his repeated worry may show both care and insecurity. Calling her vulnerable could describe her sensitivity, or it could reflect his own view of her rather than something she has stated. The lyrics leave open whether their relationship is failing, whether they simply struggle to communicate, or whether the speaker is interpreting her behavior through his fear of losing her.
