A prized possession encased in glass
admire from afar, do not touch
the pain will subside, the feeling will pass
to him it doesn't mean very much
Your chest is heavy with guilt
Exhausted from storing your thoughts away
Destroying securities you've built
Forever living in shadows of grey
Your eyes yearn to see him, to feel his soul
your lips quiver to feel his gentle kiss
your life is now spinning out of control
because you can't have something that he won't miss
Your hands tremble when you are near
Your body aches to feel his eternal bliss
You want to tell him all of your fears
but you can't have something that he won't miss
The fire in his eyes, it's not for you
The warmth in his voice, it's not for you
No matter what happens in his life
it's not for you, it's not for you
So, little girl, take another shot of whiskey tonight
you've been long forgotten, he's in his world of glass
dawn will break soon and you will see the light
the pain will subside, you'll see.. the feeling will pass
