HOUSE OF SHATTERED GLASS
I'm feeling trapped
Within myself
Within my heart and within my own head...
I'm feeling surrounded
With this sense of hurt, this sense of loss and the feeling of dread
I'm waiting for your letter
The one that I'll cry as I read:
The one that says:
"I'll always love you... But you're something that I don't need"
And it is filling me with misery
And I still feel nothing but love
Love for you... but not for me
That part of my heart is empty
There's nothing there it's null and void
I worked so hard to get you to love me
Yet here I am left unemployed
I don't feel bitter
I just feel let down
I've never been a quitter
I'm a lover not a leaver
But now I'm leaving town...
'Cause I just can't bare to be around
In you...
I am your greatest believer
In me...
I'm my own greatest deceiver
As everyone told me it was a fairytale world
From inside this house of shattered glass
I stood up to every stone they hurled
And we both know it hurts
Watching your blood make mud
As it mixes with the dirt
That they also threw at you
But I knew what it was that I had to do
Still, through all of this
I only know of one truth:
I will never stop loving you
But what's even worse:
Is that you know it, too
