I’ll promise you hope
and I’ll promise you an ache
But I just can't promise that I won't just break
I just don't know how to cope.
I'm not broken
Just a little bit cracked
It's loudly unspoken
It's plainly a fact.
I’m a glass child
Not much worthwhile
I know I might have smiled
But I'm in one of the troubled files.
I live in the projects
Old fashion rejects
Hide your wallets when I pass girl
Broken dreams in my pin curls.
I will smile when I pass
But that smile won't last
Not very long until I tare
How come you're not aware?
I’m a glass child
Not much worthwhile
I’m just a little wild
I know that's putting it mild.
Why are you crying?
I don't really care
Just kidding I’m lying
I’m just living life off a dare.
A little too late
That's just my game
Time can just wait
I’m never the one to blame.
I’m a glass child
Not much worthwhile
What can I say? The crowd has me riled.
They're all hype for us small town exiles.
I didn't run away
My parents are on the run
You see, they don’t want to pay
But what they did is already done.
The police do the crimes
We’re all guilty here
We reminisce sometimes
What goes in comes out the other ear.
We’re all glass children
Even your grandchildren
Even now this town in barren
Not much can be hidden
Where we’re all one of a million.
Glass child is about a fragile youth and ignorant elders.
