The Novel Ideas - Broken Glass Lyrics

Can you hear me? Can you feel me? I've been waiting here for you to come home
'Cause I've been afraid for you have made a fool of me so many times before
Like it's crazy how you won't allow me to even hold your hand
It's in your eyes, some disguise, a person I have never known
But even now

I say what you've been, it's what you're bound to be
You say you have not lived girl 'cause you've been bound to me

Now I've been up late every day thinking on what you've said to me
Yet all the while I can't reconcile the truth I know and what my heart
Would have of me

I've heard it said that all this too must pass
But tomorrow bends her knee to the ever-present past
When all our hopes and all our dreams crack like broken glass
Will we see it through when the fractured truth says it was not meant to last?

I have waited here, waited dear for you to come home
'Cause we have waited years through the tears we fought our fears so long
And now you're gone

I say what you've been, it's what you're bound to be
You say you have not lived girl 'cause you've been bound to me
