DeGraw, Gavin - Glass Lyrics






Fool you made the girl fall in love
You said those beautiful things
She thought you spoke things you mean

Caress her skin like it's glass
She hears your voice making plans
And sees your face in her hands

You don't wanna see somebody beg
As you feel her heart surrender you begin to fall
How do you say that something's through
When it never even started, at least not for you

You breathe her air and you leave
You keep your mind on yourself
And lie the glass on the shelf
After the heavenly speech
Your body throws holy heat
The angels sing when our eyes meet

It wasn't a lie but it wasn't true
I just wanted to make him feel good
Just wanted you near
I wasn't prepared I wasn't thinking of you
That you could actually love me
It never should have started

She's dreaming back on the past
Every opinion agreed
Doesn't know what to believe

It must have been for a cause
Our lives have so many doors
Don't think about him anymore

But it was the kiss, it took me away
It's like he knew that I am fragile
He handled me like glass

And it hurts
But it's what I deserve
Because I should have been more careful
With these others that I've handled
I should have been more

And knowing this I know that he'll get his
But I don't want the man to suffer
Not the way I am

'Cause deep down I know that he's glass too
And it really doesn't matter until it's happenin' to you
Everybody breaks, everybody breaks sometimes, sometimes

    Until it's happening to you
    Everybody breaks
    Everybody breaks
    Sometimes

    This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard

  4. A.... G....

    4 years ago when I was a teen I couldn't understand the lyrics. 4 years later with the things I have been through I finally am able to understand this beautiful lyrics.Everbody is a glass deep down. Everybody breaks <3 good to know you're not the only one

  5. E.... ....

    my life

  6. J.... A....

    for my friend you know who you are. may your broken pieces be put back together.♡

  7. D.... J....

    +OurMillionaires He's saying: "And it was a kiss, that took me away. It's like he knew that I was fragile (not special); he handled me like glass." And it's the girl that's talking there

  8. a.... ....

    This song makes me cry, I can definitely relate to this... :/

    a.... ....

    Same here

  9. A.... T....

    LOL, I definitely can relate.

  10. E.... B....

    I swear to god this is the saddest song I have ever heard

  11. e.... ....

    i really want Gavin and Sara Bareilles to do a duet together. it would be magical

  12. m.... ....

    my new favourite song

  13. k.... ....

    Wow this song is so freaking real.

  14. i.... ....

    one of the sweetest songs ever written.

  15. M.... B....

    he is my favorite singer...his voice just perfect :)

  16. L.... C....

    I'm going to see him 5 days! SO EXCITED TO HEAR THIS MAGIC LIVE!

  17. M.... ....

    I seriously doubt he/she's ACTUALLY 40. They're probably like 9 and learned a new word the other day.

  18. s.... ....

    omg what a gorgeous song. I haven't heard this version I've only heard the live one and was blown away. The lyrics are deep and beautiful. Gavin's songs are so unique, I love him!!

  19. R.... B....

    gavin degraw, you make me fall in love with your flawlessly beautiful voice!<3

  20. J.... D....

    the best song i have ever heard.

  21. H.... R....

    we need more people like Gavin.

  22. T.... ....

    oh adam levine. Wait, what? It's Gavin!

  23. E.... B....

    I love this song so, so much. But I've been able to relate to it an unfair amount of times.

  24. M.... M....

    "Because deep down, I know that he's glass too, but it really doesn't matter till its happening to you, everybody breaks, everybody breaks, sometime."
    Amazing. I love the emotions of this song.
    He is by far my favorite singer. every single one of his songs are amazing. I have yet to find a song of his, covers included, that i dont like.
    Keep it up Gavin! We love you!

  25. A.... C....

    AAAH i need gavin to come and explain this song to me... it's like...is he the guy at the beginning? or is that someone else? is he the i at the end? who'd he kiss? did he kiss the guy? did the girl kiss the guy? did the girl kiss him?
    dude... is he telling the story in third person then he suddently breaks into first person?
    ive been listening to this song for a year and can't figure it out. am i stupid?
    someone help me! PLEASE!!!!!

  26. K.... ....

    @foxyladay260 Your so right every song is great

  27. W.... ....

    Sounds like he tells the same story from two perspectives. They are both vulnerable so the guy needed to be comforted, but he was not looking for a relationship. He leaved, and "lied the glass on the shelf", because he only was thinking bout himself. But the girl fell in love with him, which made it all worse.
    Am I wrong?
    Btw, I love how Gavin's deep lyrics make me think! He's the best! :)

  28. i.... ....

    I love this song. I have heard it every day this past week!

  29. T.... S....

    This song saved my life...

  30. S.... ....

    Gavin writes almost all of his songs.. this is one of them.. and the lyrics are AMAZING!


    <3 Gavin is the best

  31. u.... ....

    I love this song.

  32. j.... ....

    There's something about the lyric "it's like he knew that I was fragile, he handled me like glass". It just gets to me every time, it's so beautiful and sad at the same time. I think that what makes this song so great is that it's such a universal theme and everyone can relate to it. It's about leading someone on in a relationship, or even just pretending to care for someone more than you do. I think that most people have been on both sides of this relationship at some time in their lives.

  33. j.... ....

    Best Gavin Degraw song ever!!!
    Love the phrase : It wasn't a lie but it wasn't true

  34. j.... ....

    It's the truth! Gavin's songs could become a religion for me. He is the moral compass in his songs.

  35. O.... ....

    okay thanks! i feel kinda stupid right now

  36. N.... v....

    It's the girl talking in the end of the song yes, and he;s singin; it's like he knew that i am fragile, he handled me like glass

  37. O.... ....

    i really love this song but i just don't get the last thing when he's singing: it's like he knew that i was special
    is the girl thinking that about him or what? i dont really get that to be honest but stil loving the song!

  38. D.... V....

    beautiful

  39. S.... R....

    his new CD needs some getting used to but once you listen to the lyrics you fall in love, he is amazing!

  40. i.... ....

    i adore his music.

  41. f.... l....

    Every one of his songs are out of this world :)

  42. i.... ....

    me too. It really hit my heart

  43. S.... R....

    This is the best song of his new album, i was away from gavin news for a while and when i heard he had a new album i was shocked and i got it immediately. It's really raw and less rockish so, for me it took a lot of getting used to, but once i listened to it a few times (the whole cd) i fell in love, he is so talented, his lyrics are beautiful and this song is GREATNESS, i wish he were coming to the dallas area, if he did i missed him.

  44. l.... ....

    this song it's me.......<3

  45. E.... L....

    Beautiful song <3'.
    It's like I'm in the lyrics.. It's about my situation..
