“Broken Glass” is an unreleased song by Lizzy McAlpine that is expected to be on her third album, for which the title has yet to be announced. It was included on her setlist for her The End of the Movie tour.
In “Broken Glass,” McAlpine takes the concept of emotionally hurting someone but describes...
[Verse 1]
Broken glass on the table
Pick it up, hold it to your throat
I can see who you are now
That the window's broke
Drop of blood on the carpet
Didn't think it would go this far
Don't know why I held on this long
But here we are
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you've been hurt
But you did it first to me
[Chorus]
We started with the end
Broken glass again
[Verse 2]
Maybe it doesn't matter
Who the blame gets assigned to next
Nothing's ever the way I remember it
[Pre-Chorus]
You know I've been hurt
Did I do it worse to you?
[Chorus]
We started with the end
Broken glass again
Again
[Bridge]
I want you now, and then I don't
And every word is a land mine
I hold the glass against your throat
But I can't do it this time
It might seem like I love you
But I just don't want to be alone
[Outro]
We started with the end
Broken glass again
We're coming to the end
Breaking glass
