[Intro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh
[Verse 1]
Did I wake you? Were you sleeping? Were you still in the bed?
Or is a nightmare keeping you up instead?
Poor baby, are you feeling guilty for what you did?
If you think you're hurting, you ain't seen nothing yet
[Pre-Chorus]
Was it really worth it?
Was she everything that you were looking for to feel like a man?
I hope you know that you can't come back
'Cause all we had is broken like shattered glass
[Chorus]
You're gonna see me in your dreams tonight
My face is gonna haunt you all the time
I promise that you gon' want me back
When your world falls apart like shattered glass
Glass, glass, glass
[Verse 2]
Are you having trouble focusing throughout the day?
Do you find yourself still calling my name?
Do you wish you could rewind time and take it back?
I bet you realize that she ain't half the woman I am
[Pre-Chorus]
Was it really worth it?
Was she everything that you were looking for to feel like a man?
I hope you know that you can't come back
'Cause all we had is broken like shattered glass
[Chorus]
You're gonna see me in your dreams tonight
My face is gonna haunt you all the time
I promise that you gon' want me back
When your world falls apart like shattered glass
Glass, glass, glass, glass, li-li-like glass, glass, glass
[Outro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh

“Shattered Glass” is one of the ones Luke did. It’s really cool. It still has like a Michael Jackson feel to it. I think just the beats to it and stuff like that, so it’s cool. It’s fun.
