He's stuck inside that bottle
With no way to get out
She's drownin there beside him
It's all pain, yeah there's no doubt
He's just too weak to stay afloat
And she knows she can't change him
She's gasping tryin to hold him up
She's so confused, so totally lost
.......yeah she's all mixed up.

CHORUS:
She's gotta break the glass
If she wants to help them both
She's gotta break the glass
Though she might end up all alone
She's gotta break the glass
To build her something that'll last
To save them both from dying fast
To change her future from her past
She's gotta break the glass

He doesn't know how to love her
Sure, maybe he was never shown how...
And yes, he sends her cards and jewelry
And brings her beautiful flowers,
It only hides the pain and unhappiness
hides the guilt and unspoken pride
But she's still going under.... drowning with him....
.......drowning by his side

CHORUS:
She's gotta break the glass
If she wants to help them both
She's gotta break the glass
Though she might end up all alone
She's gotta break the glass
To build her something that'll last
To save them both from dying fast
To change her future from her past
She's gotta break the glass

He's got a lot of pride, in her that is...
She doesn't see him show it much.
He's been thinking about the haze he's in
and how long he's been outta touch
The last thing he wants is to ask for a hand
but he knows now that's just what he needs...
He's asking her now, He wants to save them at last
He needs her strength to get up off his knees.
.......get up off his knees..

CHORUS:
He's gonna break the glass
Because he wants to help them both
Yeah he's gotta break the glass
Though he might end up all alone
He's breaking apart the glass
To build them something that'll last
To save them both from dying fast
To change their future from their past
He's gonna break the glass
Yeah he's gonna free them all because....
He's gonna break the glass
If he wants to free them all....
He's gotta break the glass...
