I know this one couple... that became an inspiration for this song. I mean these two really wasn't compatable but in a way I think they could have been if they both would have just stopped and realized what eachother needed. She seem like her out life and was always afraid of being controlled... So in a way she pushed men away by trying to be miss independence. He needed someone to assure him and cure a kind of insecurity inside. I heard them many times... he would ask her not to do something and she would accuse him of being a controlling arse. most of the situations I seen I understood him from a mans point of view. I mean all he was looking for was for her to give him a little comfort in knowing she looked at him as a priority in her life. Instead she just went on, he would get mad, they make up and the cycle repeated over again. I guess it boiled down to is she wanted trust while he wanted security. neither would give... no one would take that first step... instead it stopped one night accross the bar... they both walked out with someone else... sort of a head game that got too serious... I only see more problems and maybe the end of something beautiful... I thought to myself what a couple of stubborn fools... its obvious they are both hurt but yet they wouldn't do anything about it. in a way I guess I placed alot of blame on her only because I seen this many times myself in different degree... She was the strong one... yet she used all the strength in the wrong way. Just like the broken bottle on the floor... no one ever seen it until they stepped on it... yea I know strange comparison... but at the time... it was fitting...

YOU NEVER SEE IT UNTIL IT CUTS 


I guess it wasn't alive when she said it was strong
Now its all fine but the flames have all but gone
Looking for something that she just couldn't have
Trying any kind of move and fighting when she can
Never did she look inside her own heart for something to give
It wasn't the chase or kill it was just all to win
When she was told no it just drove her insane
Using deviation not weighing out the cost of pain

(cc1)
that's why I say it cuts like glass
yea that's why I say it cuts like glass
that's why I say it cuts like glass
You never see it until it cuts
That's why I say it cuts like glass
Yea that why I say it cuts like glass
That's why I say it cuts like glass
You never see it until it cuts

He was just a boy who didn't know what to give
An attitude that soon turned to never give a shit
Trying to talk but his words got twisted around
Shoved in his face and pressed too hard down
He watched her tear into his skin and swallow his heart
A blow that stung like a bee and left no mark
He felt like he was convenience not committed 
A shared life that he found himself omitted

(repeat cc1)

When he told her it was over she just mocked
She felt his loyalty was already sold and bought
The phone never rang and the night grew cold
She was never wrong and he was just getting bold
It wasn't until she seen his eyes light up with a smile
That wasn't aimed at her but a girl that was more his style
It was then she realized that she had only a spiders touch
And now he really didn't mean all that much

(repeat cc1)

as I sat there staring at the glass on the floor
I couldn't help but to think this story don't mean much more
I watched them both glance at each other as they walked out
Under someone else's arm heading for that rebound
But both smiles couldn't hid from my eye the hidden frown
I shook my head and ordered myself another round
And wondered if I understood finally at last
You never see it until it cuts you like glass

(repeat cc1)
