Glass

I am a piece of glass,

I am a piece of glass, I’m just about unbreakable,

I am a piece of glass, I’m just about unbreakable, Those rocks you throw; I’ll let pass,

I am a piece of glass, I’m just about unbreakable, Those rocks you throw; I’ll let pass, My toughness is unmistakable.

A majority of your words can’t hurt me,

A majority of your words can’t hurt me, But there’s some of them that do.

A majority of your words can’t hurt me, But there’s some of them that do. You hurtle your insulting rocks at my glass, carefree,

A majority of your words can’t hurt me, But there’s some of them that do. You hurtle your insulting rocks at my glass, carefree, Can someone bring me some glue?

I won’t let you make me shatter,

I won’t let you make me shatter, Only a couple of dents or two,

I won’t let you make me shatter, Only a couple of dents or two, My glass shards will not splatter,

I won’t let you make me shatter, Only a couple of dents or two, My glass shards will not splatter, Yet the thought of your rocks, I can’t undo.

I can’t speak back because I’m simply glass,

I can’t speak back because I’m simply glass, But that makes me the better of the two,

I can’t speak back because I’m simply glass, But that makes me the better of the two, Because when you manage to roll yourself into a steep crevasse,

I can’t speak back because I’m simply glass, But that makes me the better of the two, Because when you manage to roll yourself into a steep crevasse, I’ll be the one here silently mocking you.
