House Of Glass
(back) (listen / download)
I decided love was like a garden
I decided that I would tend to ours
I decided you were more than worth it
By far the sweetest of all the flowers
I decided I would give you water
I decided your place was in the sun
I decided that I’d protect your petals
From anything I could protect them from
I built a house of glass
Around you where you stood
I never thought to ask
Anybody if I should
I decided when the thunder clapped above us
I decided when the lightning split the sky
I decided when the greenhouse started leaking
That I need a place to hide
I decided that I would run for cover
I decided I’d be better off alone
I decided we should have seen this coming
So I started throwing stones
I broke that house of glass
Around you where you stood
I never thought to ask
Anybody if I should
I decided when the storm was over
I decided I’d clean the mess I made
I decided that I would try to find you
But the storm washed you away
