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
