I carry your heart around Like a child that has just been born I try not to let you down And I try not to show my thorns You can run but cannot hide If we fail, then at least I tried To save your soul from becoming hurt and scared I pretend that things are alright I can comfort you and hold you tight To love you feels like Walking on broken glass Will you carry my heart around When it's old and grey? Will you stay until we fade away? I will never forget the day Our souls became one And I know there's a secret We've been Swallowing Lying so passionately I pretend that things are alright I can comfort you and hold you tight To love you feels like Walking on broken glass Will you carry my heart around When it's old and grey? Will you stay until we fade away? Walking on broken glass Walking on broken glass Will you stand at my grave And mourn in loneliness Will you be with me Throw away the key And wait until we meet in death? Will you carry my heart around When it's old and grey? Will you stay until we fade away? Will you be with me Throw away the key And wait until we meet in death? until then, we're walking on broken glass
