broken cup

i saw a face looking at me/through a window, through a mirror/she smiled and said/"don't you worry. don't you shed a single tear"/but i couldn't help myself/so i hid where she couldn't see/and i drew a pretty picture of her/standing next to me
so i'll collect my thoughts/collect my bags and move across the the hall/and i hope i can recover/by the time summer becomes fall/'cause we have no other option than/to just keep moving on/no use in screaming foul/no use in saying that i was wronged
so just give up/you drink from a broken cup/took a punch/to the gut/and fell down to your knees

i saw a face looking at me/from a couch across the room/she smiled and mouthed "i got you/won't you take me to the moon?"/and i couldn't help myself 'cause she melted me/deep down to my core/i took her to the ocean and we/washed up on the shore
we spent the next few years/making memories of us/but somewhere in that romance/i must have gotten lost/and though it hurt real bad and i made her cry/i knew that it was best/well, now i've lost another/please put a bullet in my chest
'cause it hurts so much/to lose my love/i will sow my heart up/and bury it in the ground

i saw a face looking at me/from in between a sleep/and she smiled and said nothing/because she was too young to speak/and i couldn't help myself/as i looked into those baby blues/those same eyes that couldn't hold me/when we'd all received the news
every single tragedy/i could possibly think up/she had chosen to take part in/as if it weren't enough/and she'll go back again to that pit/that will only lead to death/while we can only pray and cry/and wish that she didn't
but i can't let go/of my baby girl/because i love her so/and i will fight for her
