Analysis of Broken glass
my heart is like glass
so easily broken
my eyes are like windows
showing pain that's unspoken
you told me you loved me
I thought it was true
so I opened my heart
and gave it to you
my friends tell me
I'll find someone new
but they're wrong
I don't want anyone but you
I'm still crazy in love with you
and I hope it will always last
though my heart will remain
like broken glass
