Lyrics

Walking on, walking on broken glassWalking on, walking on broken glass
You were the sweetest thing that I ever knewBut I don’t care for sugar honey if I can’t have youSince you’ve abandoned meMy whole life has crashedWon’t you pick the pieces up‘Cause it feels just like I’m walking on broken glass
Walking on, walking on broken glass
Walking on, walking on broken glass
The sun’s still shining in the big blue skyBut it don’t mean nothing to meO-o-oh let the rain come downLet the wind blow through meI’m living in an empty roomWith all the windows smashedAnd I’ve got so little left to loseThat it feels just like I’m walking on broken glass
Walking on, walking on broken glass
And if you’re trying to cut me downYou know that I might bleed‘Cause if you’re trying to cut me downI know that you’ll succeedAnd if you want to hurt meThere’s nothing left to fear‘Cause if you want to hurt meYou do it really well my dear
Now everyone of us was made to sufferEveryone of us is made to weepWe’ve been hurting one anotherNow the pain has cut too deepSo take me from the wreckageSave me from the blastLift me up and take me backDon’t let me keep on walking (don’t let me keep on walking)I kept on walking onKeep on walking on broken glass
Walking on, walking on broken glass
Walking on, walking on broken glass
Walking on, walking on broken glass
Walking on, walking on broken glassWalking on, walking on broken glass
Walking on, walking on broken glass
