Kenneth - Broken Glass Lyrics

The broken glass, glass, glass
Picking up the pieces of a shattered life, shattered life
You walked away, left chaos in your wake
Mama taught me to never clean up someone else's mess, his mess
Yet here I am, cleaning and letting those lessons pass, I'll let them pass
Every shart, a reminder of the pain
Yet I find strength in each breath I take
Mama told me, kids shouldn't sift through rubble for hope
Then why did you let me try to find my way?
Sweeping up the broken glass, fixing myself in your mess
Rebuilding from the wreckage, the quake
Healing the wounds you left behind
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Your laughter echoes in these empty rooms
But I'll paint new memories on these walls
Mama taught me to never clean up someone else's mess
Is it even someone else's when I am a mess?
Shatter tells a story, splinter tells a tale
Strength doesn't come with these scars
Mama told me, kids shouldn't sift through rubble for hope
But I'll find my hope this time, I'll find a way to cope
Sweeping up the broken glass, fixing more of it on your mess
Rebuilding myself with a broken mind
Healing the wounds you left behind
I won't let your ghost define my future
I'll rise above, stronger than before
In the darkness, I'll find my light
In this battle, I won't back down, show my might
Sweeping up the broken glass, mommy, you made me such a mess
Rebuilding with some missing pieces
Healing, making new mess
All the mess you made
Never seemed to want to help
But that's okay, you left me here
Rebuilding with a broken mind
Healing in what you left behind
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
From ruins, I'll emerge renewed
A stronger me, free from your shadows
Sweeping up the broken glass
My heart will heal, my strength will last
I've been sweeping up your broken glass
You never wanted to clean this mess
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
