Broken Glass — текст песни (Cyndi Lauper)

Ever since I could understand

My mother said to me

"dont you ever let a man hit you,

Dont you grow up like me"

So I swore Id never be like her

Or my grandmother too

Ever if it meant Id be alone

Ever if it meant Id be alone.



cause she looked

cause she looked like broken glass

When she fell to the ground

I heard the sound of thunder

Trailing off

When she started coming round

But she couldnt make him stop

And she wouldnt let it go

So everytime she got back up

Like broken glass went tumblin down

Tumblin down



First time that I saw your face

You looked so lost and kind

Should have recognized that

Troubled look

From the road I left behind

But I thought that I could comfort you

Or was it you could comfort me,

Never saw your anger till you blew

Never saw your anger till you blew



And I feel

Oh Id feel like broken glass

When I fell to the ground

I heard the sound of thunder

Trailing off

When I started coming round

But I couldnt make you stop

And you wouldnt let it go

So everytime I got back up

Like broken glass went tumbling down...



The slightest thing could spark you

There was always hell to pay

I could feel your darkness in me

And I knew just what to say

And the rest I cant remember

But it sounded like a gun

But it could have been a firecracker

It could have been a firecracker

Made me run



And you looked

Oh you looked like broken glass

When you fell to the ground

I heard the sound of thunder

Trailing off

When you started coming round

But I couldnt make you stop

And you wouldnt let it go

So this time when you got back up

Like broken glass you went

Just like broken glass

Just like broken glass...

...tumbling down, tumbling down...
