Lights - Everybody Breaks A Glass Lyrics
It's not a solid, not a soft thingTo pull the wool up like a smoke screenNobody does it like a prophetIt's gone before you know you lost itThere are reasons you keep your hands tiedThere's certain things you shouldn't have triedSo if you've got it tell me somethingYou better go from the beginningWe all forget to sleepThen crash at someone's feetEverybody skips a beatWe let the chances passThe few we held so fastEverybody breaks a glassAnd here I'm standing in the middleNot just a little but a hill-fullWondering how I got a head coldWishing I didn't know what I knowIt's never been about the moneyWe're worthy oh you're not worthyHowever much you've got on your plateYou're as good as you reciprocateWe all pretend to keepOur tongue out of our cheekEveryone's the fool they seekWe all go off the trackAnd feel for our way backEverybody breaks a glassEverybody breaks a glass(Yeah, Shook)Scared to look at peers when they peer backIt's weird how we fear thatIt's weird how we wear masksIt appears that we fear our own tears more than tear gasMy team's struggling in years pastLooking to draft beer to bring cheers backBut when the drinking game's finishedNo Guinness, just a clear glassSeeing our real image mirrored backThe places that we go to cope, it's so strangeWhen we're older folks, it don't changeTrying to hang, we don't know the ropesWhen we fall, we got more than our shoulders brokeIt's no gameIt's why we overdose on cocaineGet our brains comatose, there's no blameIf you've ever know shame, known painKnown days when it really don't feel ok(Uh, okay)Somewhere perfection liesBut not for you and IEverybody trips sometimesWhen cities fall like shacksWalls eventually crackEverybody breaks a glass
