Lyrics
GLASS HEART
Won?t you help me understand,
What am I doing wrong?
Why are you bleeding again
Is it always my fault?
I?m doing the best I can with you,
Living in your fragile world
Walking on my tiptoes
Through your head like a China store
You got a glass heart, you got a glass head
And all my words, are just like lead
Shooting through you, I watch you break
Am I too strong, or are you too weak?
You don?t like the mess I make
When I throw my guts on the wall
You?d rather close your eyes and pretend
You can?t see at all
Am I the monster or are you the martyr?
Are you the martyr? Are you the martyr?
