Shattered Glass
Verse 1
I can’t breathe this toxic air
You’re suffocating me, yet you don’t even care
What am I to you? Just an emotional punching bag
You wouldn’t show me mercy even if I hang up a white flag.
You hurt me, I curse you; it’s a vicious circle
Our messed-up relationship is entirely controversial
You say “I love you” even as you paint my body in bruises
You only tolerate me for a few “uses.”
Chorus
1,2,3,4; retain your calm and remain composed
Even I can predict this dreadful forecast
I’m incredibly vulnerable; one wrong touch and I explode
Into a thousand shards of shattered glass
Verse 2
I’m crashing down to earth; I have no control
I didn’t know the consequences of selling my soul
My spirit begs me to flee, yet my stupid heart tells me to stay put
Seeing you with that woman feels like my heart’s been stomped on by your foot.
Chorus
1,2,3,4; retain your calm and remain composed
Even I can predict this dreadful forecast
I’m incredibly vulnerable; one wrong touch and I explode
Into a thousand shards of shattered glass.
My reflection is twisted in the shattered glass
I don’t know why I tolerated the fact that you harass…
…me, yet there’s the difference between us; a contrast…
…in our personalities; a weakness I shall surpass.
