Glass and tears
Sad story, really
How such a thing happened
To a girl of such beauty

Fragile like glass
Is how her heart was made
And when it was broken
She could not be saved

Her tears flow freely
Like blood from a wound
She hoped and prayed
It'd be over soon

Round and round
Was how things were
And every rotation
Appeared as more of a blur

And every time
The words got sweeter
They took a wrong turn
And the knife cut deeper

She wanted to run
She wanted to leave
Flee from the pain
She just couldn't believe

It was all just too much
A complete and utter mess
But even on a broken road
She knew she was blessed

She knew
She had to walk away
Leave the past behind
And forget yesterday

Fresh red rose
Don't take offense
She uses her thorns
As self defense

But don't push her
A smart one warns
For if you do
She will use those thorns

Glass and tears
Sad story, really
What became of a sweet girl
Such as she
