Glass Heart
by Nancy Price
Jan 2 2003


this wasn't what i wanted
you expected me to pack
leave my home, go to yours
i want my money back

it's not what i expected
truer words were never spoken
i offered you my heart,
and now it's broken

i once wanted to change
for i was soft and weak
being with you made me hard,
and now i cannot speak

do you know how i love you?
i cannot sleep at night
i'm frightened in the dark
and i want to see the light

do you hear that grinding?
like snapping stalks of grass?
you made me hard alright
you see you turned my heart to glass

when we started this
i wished to never be apart
but i can't stand the grating sound
of your foot on my heart

this wasn't what i wanted
you should have warned me, pet
i wanted memories of love
but now i can't forget

the fragments of my broken heart
and every sad regret
you should have told me sooner
you haven't told me yet

i wanted memories of love
but now i can't forget
