Walking On Broken Glass Lyrics
Time goes by, I just try
To hold my head up high
People try to deny
Classify, or just hide
The feelings, what's inside
Broken hearts, and hard times
Don't let life break you down this time
I'm sitting here, crying here
You're alone and dying
There waiting for bad news
Like walking on broken glass
Nowhere just others ask who are all alone
Cuz you know that I'd give my life for you
Time can be nothing but our enemy
Don't give up just hold on
Is the pain just too strong
To hold on
Sometimes we're wrong when we think we're right
Tonight will be the night
You'll break free from this fight
Dont let life break you down this time
I'm sitting here, crying here
You're alone and dying
There waiting for bad news
Like walking on broken glass
Nowhere just others ask you're all alone
Cuz you know that I'd give my life for you
Time can be nothing but our enemy
I die inside from all I feel
Does it have to be this way?
Memories of yesterday
When it all just slips away
I give up everything I had to keep you one more day
I know that it's not right
Why do we feel this way?
Why do I feel this way
I'm sitting here, crying here
You're alone and dying
There waiting for bad news
Like walking on broken glass
Nowhere just others ask you're all alone
Cuz you know that I'd give my life for you
Time can be nothing but our enemy
To hold my head up high
People try to deny
Classify, or just hide
Broken hearts, and hard times
Don't let life break you down this time
You're alone and dying
There waiting for bad news
Like walking on broken glass
Nowhere just others ask who are all alone
Cuz you know that I'd give my life for you
Time can be nothing but our enemy
Is the pain just too strong
To hold on
Sometimes we're wrong when we think we're right
You'll break free from this fight
Dont let life break you down this time
You're alone and dying
There waiting for bad news
Like walking on broken glass
Nowhere just others ask you're all alone
Cuz you know that I'd give my life for you
Time can be nothing but our enemy
Does it have to be this way?
Memories of yesterday
When it all just slips away
I give up everything I had to keep you one more day
I know that it's not right
Why do we feel this way?
Why do I feel this way
You're alone and dying
There waiting for bad news
Like walking on broken glass
Nowhere just others ask you're all alone
Cuz you know that I'd give my life for you
Time can be nothing but our enemy

yeah um you got the lyrics wrong. the 5th line is no answers for what was asked your all alone
yeah um you got the lyrics wrong. the 5th line is no answers for what was asked your all alone. this is the best song on the album
this is my fave song on the album--im not sure about the meaning..obvious meaning about someone who is dying and they dont know whats going to happen next..like waiting for a cure or waiting for some results..anyways..awesome song with good instrumentals.
2 comments? this is the best song on 'Mest', although Lost, Broken, Confused and Jaded (These Years) are close runners up, awesome songs
Wow this is a great song I would have thought there would be more posts... anyway to me this song is about wanting to commit suicide "Don't give up just hold on Is the pain just too strong" i'm not sure what it's real meaning is though but i've seen Mest in concert they were awesome!
Good song...kinda deals with the fragility of life
I think that this song is about someone dying (obviously). And it's prolly just cuz of an illness or an accident of some sort. And i think it just decribes how people would feel in the waiting room: "I’m sitting here, crying here You’re alone and dying There waiting for bad news Like walking on broken glass No answers for what was asked" anyways it's a really good song, and sad.
I think this song is about someone with a terminal illness, like cancer or something, and a friend trying to give them strength to stay alive. You could also see it as a song about a chick and someone trying to talk a friend out of suicide because they cant get over a chick. What do think?
i heard it was about tony and matt's grandpa. who did pass away(i think). not to sure.
yea i think it is about some one dying from the way the lyrics are but i also think it talks about feelings for someone too in a way because some of the lyrics relate to the way i felt when me and my ex broke up because when we started talking about things of our relationship i realized that we were gonna brake up and i was sitting their wanting to cry and alone because i knew that bad news was gonna come out eventually. after it happened i did wanna give up because te pain was too strong to hold on too and i also would've given up ne thing to keep her one more day but in the end i got through it.
