Break the glass and watch it fall to the ground,
you can only put so many cracks in this fragile state of statue,
before it shatters like the heart you once had,

Let the emotion swallow you,
and pull you to the bottom of the ocean,
made of all the tears you ever cried, and all the lies you just couldn't hide,
the abyss of tragedy, has found its way into me,
they say if you stare into it too long, it stares into you, well darling, thats exactly what it'll do,
and it'll **** the life out of you,
leaving only guts and blood to remain,
no heart, no soul, no more emotion to burden you,
so go on, let the emotion swallow you whole, only for it to chew you up and spit you out,
half the woman you once were,

The glass has broken, and I think I've found the shards will remain,
in the very place from which they came,
my shattered heart will start to mend,
and I'll pick up and begin again
