Glass Heart

Looking down
Look at me
See all those things
I used to see

A girl with eyes
Deep blue as sea
Now filled with tears
Looking back at me

Hair falls forward
Covering her face
From all those stares
So hard to place

About this girl
If only you knew
The sorrows she's heard
The sorrows she' been through

The chances she's taken
The pain it's caused
The heart of the broken
A soul that was lost

If only you knew
Her every story
Took the chance
To find her glory

The one thing she lived for
The one thing she's loved
The one thing that's left her
That she's been deprived of

But never will you stop
And help that girl
Just keep on walking
Watch her sanity unfurl

Let her moans, the screams
Let them go unheard
Or, help her let go,
Change her into that bird


Let her fly free from the cage
That's held her in captivity
Let her fly free from her sorrows
Let her live until tomorrow

Upon the morning
The sun's return
She'll come back
and we'll let her burn

The hatred that's been hidden deep inside
Let it explode on the wave's tides
Let the heat cool down before you proceed
For you know this is the girl, you'll always be

You know your secrets
You know your fears
So let come
Those silent tears

Let them drip silently
Down your cheek
Showing the world
That you're unique

You're not alone
When you're lonely inside
You're just waiting
For two worlds to collide

A world of hope
And a world of fear
Two things so different
It's hard to bear

But I know you're strong,
Stronger than steel-
Just with a glass heart
Where your emotions are revealed

Let me bind
Your glass heart in thorns
Let them protect you
Let it be adorned


In roses made
Of melted sorrow
I wish I could save you,
Protect you from tomorrow

Let the beauty from within
Shine through to everyone
Let it be a light
Golden as the sun

But no star will shine brighter,
Never brighter than you
The most golden, most grand,
The far best view

I wish I could protect you
From all that's caused you harm
So let me be there to catch you
Fall into my arms

I'll hold you close forever,
I'll let your glass heart break
Then rebuild it slowly,
A new one to remake

Modeled to your gorgeous
Beautiful personality
A new one is formed
From the ashes of reality

It's shining bright as glass
Almost tearing you apart
Yet stronger than anything
A diamond is your heart

Rarest of the minerals
Hardest of all to break
Merge your heart with mine
For mine is yours to take

Let your tears come down
Let them fall from your eyes
For all your tears are diamonds
Glittering in their own disguise..
