Ever since I could understand
|
My mother said to me
|
"Don't you ever let a man hit you,
|
Don't you grow up like me"
|
So I swore I'd never be like her
|
Or my grandmother too
|
Ever if it meant I'd be alone
|
Ever if it meant I'd be alone.
|
|
'Cause she looked
|
'Cause she looked like broken glass
|
When she fell to the ground
|
I heard the sound of thunder
|
Trailing off
|
When she started coming 'round
|
But she couldn't make him stop
|
And she wouldn't let it go
|
So everytime she got back up
|
Like broken glass went tumblin' down
|
Tumblin' down
|
|
First time that I saw your face
|
You looked so lost and kind
|
Should have recognized that
|
Troubled look
|
From the road I left behind
|
But I thought that I could comfort you
|
Or was it you could comfort me,
|
Never saw your anger 'till you blew
|
Never saw your anger 'till you blew
|
|
And I feel
|
Oh I'd feel like broken glass
|
When I fell to the ground
|
I heard the sound of thunder
|
Trailing off
|
When I started coming 'round
|
But I couldn't make you stop
|
And you wouldn't let it go
|
So everytime I got back up
|
Like broken glass went tumbling down...
|
|
The slightest thing could spark you
|
There was always hell to pay
|
I could feel your darkness in me
|
And I knew just what to say
|
And the rest I can't remember
|
But it sounded like a gun
|
But it could have been a firecracker
|
It could have been a firecracker
|
Made me run
|
|
And you looked
|
Oh you looked like broken glass
|
When you fell to the ground
|
I heard the sound of thunder
|
Trailing off
|
When you started coming 'round
|
But I couldn't make you stop
|
And you wouldn't let it go
|
So this time when you got back up
|
Like broken glass you went
|
Just like broken glass
|
Just like broken glass......Tumbling down, tumbling down...
