Cover art for Glass lyrics by Gavin DeGraw

This is probably my favorite song by Gavin. The lyrics are beautifully written and so eloquent. I really hope that this song makes the next album because it has the potential to be a big hit for him. I think a lot of girls (and ofcourse some guys, too) could really relate to thing song.

The song is pretty straightforward but it is also very unique. I don't know of too many other songs that convey the message this song does.

'Glass' is about being in a situation that is one-sided. The girl has deep feelings for the guy but they are not reciprocated. The guy enjoys the company of the girl but he doesn't love her the same way she loves him. Not many things in life hurt worse than being right next to someone and feeling 1000 miles away... listening to them making plans and not wanting you right there with them.

The message of the song is that you should handle people's feelings like glass... very carefully. You shouldn't lead someone on. As much as you might feel destroyed inside by getting hurt by someone you should know that we are all human. That person is just as fragile as you are and will likely feel that same way at some point in their life. "It doesn't really matter until its happening to you... everybody breaks sometimes."
