Broken Glass

Like broken glass
I could feel your darkness in me
But I thought that I could comfort you
But it sounded like a gun
Even if it meant I'd be alone
But she couldn't make him stop
There was always hell to pay
Never saw your anger 'til you blew
It could have been a firecracker, made me run
Crash, like broken glass
So this time when you got back up
Like broken glass
You went tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
So I swore I'd never be like her

I heard the sound of thunder trailing off

When I fell to the ground
From the road I left behind

Should have recognized that troubled look

You went, you went tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
Like broken glass you went just like broken glass, just like broken glass

But I couldn't make you stop
"Don't you ever let a man hit you

And I knew just what to say
Like broken glass
When you fell to the ground
Tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
And the rest I can't remember

When you started coming 'round

Like broken glass went tumblin' down, tumbling down, tumbling down
When she fell to the ground
I heard the sound of thunder trailing off
But I couldn't make you stop
And I feel, oh I'd feel like broken glass

Or was it you could comfort me?
Crash
Or my grandmother too
Crash, like broken glass
When she started coming 'round

And you wouldn't let it go
Crash, like broken glass
And you wouldn't let it go
'Cause she looked, oh she looked like broken glass
Like broken glass
But it could have been a firecracker
First time that I saw your face
When you fell to the ground
The slightest thing could spark you
I heard the sound of thunder trailing off
Like broken glass
When you started coming 'round
Never saw your anger 'til you blew

So every time I got back up
Like broken glass
When I started coming 'round
So this time when you got back up
And you looked, oh you looked like broken glass
And you wouldn't let it go
Like broken glass you went
You looked like broken glass
Like broken glass went tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
And don't you grow up like me"
So every time she got back up
You looked so lost and kind

I heard the sound of thunder trailing off
Even if it meant I'd be alone
And she wouldn't let it go
But I couldn't make you stop
