It's easier to see through glass that hasn't shattered
I look to the ground, the broken mess
Everything is scattered

I see your smile
I see your light
The way you'd kiss my cheek

I see your fist
I see your swing
The way you think I'm meek

It's easer to see through glass that hasn't shattered
I look to the sky, the reflecting light
I see what should've mattered

there's a girl
i know, i know
that's always how it starts

it starts off sweet
but soon we meet
each others broken hearts

no one taught me how to accept help
so please, take it easy on me
we both know i need it

what do we do
with the hope that's hinged
between our fingers

i wasn't expecting to see you so soon
that's always how it goes
but there you stand, across the field
and every feeling shows

i shouldn't have let you walk away
i know that to my core
it's one of those universal truths
knocking down my door

the sun will rise, the tide will recede
and i will always know
I let you leave, it seems to me
that was not the right towel to throw

our memories flood my mind
the second i see you there

as if your face were the trigger on a gun
i didn't know was aimed at my heart

I'm in the check-out line when i see them
the rows are all aligned
i'm older now but still i think
this is how it was designed

I see your face in that room
as if it's frozen in time
and to some degree, i guess it is
how my heart wills to rewind

the way you laughed at me
when I told you what i thought
I felt the ground begin to shake
and knew that I'd been caught

The check-out line progresses now
as does the time between
what i meant and how you felt
still remains unseen
