Lights - Everybody Breaks A Glass lyrics

rate me

It's not a solid, not a soft thing

To pull the wool up like a smoke screen

Nobody does it like a prophet

It's gone before you know you lost it

There are reasons you keep your hands tied

There's certain things you shouldn't have tried

So if you've got it tell me something

You better go from the beginning

We all forget to sleep

Then crash at someone's feet

Everybody skips a beat

We let the chances pass

The few we held so fast

Everybody breaks a glass

And here I'm standing in the middle

Not just a little but a hill-full

Wondering how I got a head cold

Wishing I didn't know what I know

It's never been about the money

We're worthy oh you're not worthy

However much you've got on your plate

You're as good as you reciprocate

We all pretend to keep

Our tongue out of our cheek

Everyone's the fool they seek

We all go off the track

And feel for our way back

Everybody breaks a glass

Everybody breaks a glass

(Yeah, Shook)

Scared to look at peers when they peer back

It's weird how we fear that

It's weird how we wear masks

It appears that we fear our own tears more than tear gas

My team's struggling in years past

Looking to draft beer to bring cheers back

But when the drinking game's finished

No Guinness, just a clear glass

Seeing our real image mirrored back

The places that we go to cope, it's so strange

When we're older folks, it don't change

Trying to hang, we don't know the ropes

When we fall, we got more than our shoulders broke

It's no game

It's why we overdose on cocaine

Get our brains comatose, there's no blame

If you've ever know shame, known pain

Known days when it really don't feel ok

(Uh, okay)

Somewhere perfection lies

But not for you and I

Everybody trips sometimes

When cities fall like shacks

Walls eventually crack

Everybody breaks a glass
