Lyric Broken Glass

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
even if it meant I d be alone
even 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 d 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...
