"Shattered"
You looked right through her
As if nothing mattered
As if made of glass
That could just be shattered
Like the glass
Of your wedding vase
Withered flowers fleeting
As your remorse
As your name
Tattooed on her hip
Was permanent
Did you promise her forever then
While a stranger pierced her skin
The lies poured out of you as easily
As the vase became fragments of glass
Like the glass
Of her bedroom window
Where you caught her singing
Watched her go through
In your fury
Your attempt to make
Her to be silent
Did you promise her never again
While a doctor held her hand
The lies poured out of you as easily
As the window into fragments of glass
And you looked
You looked right through her
As if nothing
Nothing ever mattered
Til the slamming door
Made the picture fall
Ending terror's reign
Once and for all
And in its shards you saw the truth and knew
She's a diamond
And diamonds can't be shattered
"On the Ground"
Couldn't listen when you said goodbye
Turned my face to hide the tears that I'd cried
Couldn't see you when you walked away
Told myself you'd be back the next day
Yeah I'll lay down on the ground
Wait to hear the sound
Of a heart that beats no more
You won't come back anymore
Think you muttered it's not you it's me
And other lies I would never believe
Think the pain would have been the same
If you had told me her name
Yeah I'll lay down on the ground
Wait to hear the sound
Of a heart that beats no more
You won't come back anymore
Yeah I'll lay down on the ground
Wait to hear the sound
Of a heart that beats no more
You won't come back anymore
A flash before my eyes somebody else's life
Long arms around the neck of one disguised
As a love now dead and gone
Of the one who's not the one
A cliche that is as old as time
And suddenly it's mine
Yeah I'll lay down on the ground
Wait to hear the sound
Of a heart that beats no more
You won't come back anymore
Yeah I'll lay down on the ground
Wait to hear the sound
Of a heart that beats no more
You won't come back anymore
"Waiting To Go Down On Christmas Morning"
I'm lyin' awake my eyes are closed
Gotta stay in my room so no one knows
Covers up high over my head
Lollipop visions dancin' in my bed
What's in those presents under the tree
What's it that Santa's leaving for me
Oh the torture it is enduring
Waiting to go down on Christmas Morning
Know Santa's down there doing his thing
If I interrupt what might he not bring
Hours remain won't sleep a wink
All I can do is lie here and think
What's in those presents under the tree
What's it that Santa's leaving for me
Oh the torture it is enduring
Waiting to go down on Christmas Morning
Finally the time has come around
She says yes go ahead and come down
Leap out of bed no sleep was had
'Bout to find out if I've been good or bad
What's in those presents under the tree
What's it that Santa's left for me
Oh the torture it is enduring
Waiting to go down on Christmas Morning
Now that my wishes have come true
Letters to Santa must've gone through
Good-bye to the torture of enduring
Waiting to go down on Christmas morning
Good-bye to the torture of enduring
Waiting to go down on Christmas morning
Good-bye to the torture of enduring
Waiting to go down on Christmas morning
