Made Of Glass


I'm not sure what you've been told
But now you stare and won't approach
Why deny what I've been through?
When I don't owe a thing to you

Everybody runs when they see me coming down the aisle
Afraid that there's a waterfall hiding right behind this smile

Am I made of glass, can you see straight through me?
Will I fall to pieces if you say my name?
I'm tired of watching people as they walk on eggshells
Convinced I'm damaged goods when I'm still the same

Well I don't need someone to blame
By now I've realized that silence works both ways

I don't know what you have heard
But now it seems you're lost for words
Fake concern and then explain
Why these thoughts sound so profane

Everybody turns when they hear me walking down the hall
No one wants to deal with the grief that much at all

Am I made of glass, can you see straight through me?
Will I fall to pieces if you say my name?
I'm tired of watching people as they walk on eggshells
Convinced they share my story when it's not the same

I still don't need someone to blame
By now I've realized this silence works both ways

Take off these kid gloves, I don't need your sympathy
I know you're not sure what to say
If you walked a country mile inside my shoes
You'd understand and then acknowledge why
It's useless to complain

Am I made of glass, can you see straight through me?
Will I fall to pieces if you say my name?
I'm tired of watching people as they walk on eggshells
Convinced they share my story when it's not the same

I still don't need someone to blame
By now I know that it's too late
