A Girl in a Forgetful World

Glass Bones

It's when the knife cuts so deeply,

When the words slice,

When I feel the need to end it all.

I thought that one day you would be there,

I thought that one day you would calm the storm

But instead you created it.

My bones are made of glass,

Made of glass, oh no.

I ask for trouble

With these bones of glass.

I can't ask you one more time,

I can't take one more breath,

I can't let you go.

I take and I take and I take

I try to give,

But what use is it

When they will just leave me in the end.

I wish someone could see through these glass bones,

I wish someone could love me

And I could love them.

But I don't think I am capable of love,

Not one more time,

Oh no -

Because these bones are made of glass,

And they shatter way too easily.

I have to let them break,

But it takes too long to heal.

I wish someone could fix these glass bones...

But no one can fix this...

Fix me -

And I suppose there's no use in trying

Because I will always have glass bones.

You can't change what someone is made up of -

I've learned that the hard way,

On a narrow path with too many trees

And too many rocks

Where I broke those glass bones.

Glass bones,

Oh no,

These glass bones give me more messes

And more cracks

Than any love can fix.

Glass bones,

Oh no,

Please -

Fix yourselves...

Glass bones....

Glass bones....

I love you...

But stop hurting me...

Stop,

Please.

These glass bones may be coming for you,

So run while you can,

Before you get shattered too.
