Once upon a time your eyes could see
You had X-ray vision when it came to you and me
Now I keep my hand against my vest
But I love you baby, why get so obsessed?

That's what tears us apart

If I had a heart, a heart of glass
Would you feel satisfied, I'd have no place to hide
With a heart, a heart of glass
Then I'd be fragile too, I'd shattered just like you

Would you want me to?

One day, I might throw away this shield
Then you might realize something's are best left unrevealed
I wonder if you cry or if you laugh
Would you see me hold with just my empty hat

The most pitiful part

If I had a heart, a heart of glass
Would you keep me with care or would you leave me there?
With my heart, my heart of glass
Tumbling off your ledge, who'd want a jagged edge
Of a heart of glass

Babe, love's such a delicate art

If I had a heart, a heart of glass
Would you feel satisfied if you could see inside?
Of my heart, my heart of glass
Would you keep me around or would you let me down?

With my heart, my heart of glass
Shattering at your feet, would I be obsolete?
With my heart, my heart of glass
Who'd be your right for you, wouldn't you want me to?
But what would I do with a heart of glass?
