Stained Glass

Stained glass you told me
stained glass I was.
Stained glass you told me
you wanted clear instead.

When we began,
I withheld from you
my thoughts--
I didn't know what you'd do.

I thought I'd scare you,
I thought you'd run away.
I thought you'd leave me,
I thought you wouldn't stay.

Then one night
you came to me,
said you could take
everything.

Once I told you,
once I broke and cried,
once I spoke to you,
once I tried--

Stained glass you told me
stained glass I was.
Stained glass you told me
you wanted clear instead.

No one else
would have me,
no one else
could care.
No one else
would want me,
no one else could dare,
'cause

Stained glass you told me
stained glass I was.
Stained glass you told me
you wanted clear instead.

I remember
how you looked at me,
I recall the words
with which you shot me.

You crushed my hopes,
you scarred me deeply.
You took my mind,
you devoured all of me.

Stained glass you told me
stained glass I was.
Stained glass you told me
you wanted clear instead.

Too many colors
lit up my life,
too many mem'ries
filled with strife.

Then one night
I ran away.
You filled me with night,
I took the day.

I talked to some people,
they said you were wrong.
They saw beauty,
they said I was strong.

Stained glass you told me
stained glass I was.
Stained glass you told me
you wanted clear instead.

Stained glass they told me
is beautiful.
Stained glass they showed me
can be valuable.
Back home!
