Backwards/Forwards

(I don't think you know what I feel)
(You are a shining light)
Do be do be do do do, oh - oh
It's a dark room
But to me you're a shining light
Whoo - oo boy, whoo - oo boy,
You are a shining light
Do be do be do do do, oh - oh

I used to be lunatic
But to me you're a shining light
Do be do be do do do, oh - oh
I used to be woebegone
Yeah you light of my life

Now every one of us is made to suffer
Cry, cry. (I don't think you know what I feel.)
Every one of us is made to grieve:
Tears in my eyes burn (I don't think you know how I feel)

So take me from the wreckage. (Something goes wrong.)
Save me from the blast (Something goes right.)
Won't you pick the pieces up
Cause it feels just like I'm walking on broken glass

(Do be do be do do do, oh - oh)
Walking on, walking on broken glass
(Do be do be do do do, oh - oh)
Walking on, walking on broken glass

I look up to the shining light
And I've got a wall around me
You are a shining light

I used to have demons
But to me you're a shining light
So many monsters
Yeah, you light up life

You don't know
I may be mad I may be blind
You don't know
I may be viciously unkind

You don't know
Keep on walking on broken glass
Walking on, walking on broken glass
(Do be do be do do do, oh - oh)
Walking on, walking on broken glass
(Do be do be do do do, oh - oh)

Turn a whiter
Don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna
(Momma!)
Shade of pale
Dont wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna

(Do be do be do do do, oh - oh)
(Momma!)
No more I Love You's
But to me you're a shining light
(Do be do be do do do, oh - oh)
(Momma!)
Changes are shifting outside the world
(Do be do be do do do, oh - oh)
Yoiu are a shining light

(You don't know.)
This is the book i never read
(You don't know.)
These are the words i never said
(You don't know.)
This is path I'll never tread
(You don't know.)
These are the dreams I'll dream instead.

(You don't know.)
This is the joy that's seldom spread.
(You don't know.)
These are the tears, the tears we shed.
(You don't know.)
This is fear, this is the dread,
(You don't know.)
These are the contents of my head.

(You don't know.)
This is the years that we have spent
(You don't know.)
And this is what they represent.
(Keep on)
This is how I feel.
Keep on walking on broken glass.

(Do be do be do do do, oh - oh)
Walking on, walking on broken glass.
Do you know, do you know how I feel?
Walking on, walking on broken glass.
Do you know, do you know how I feel?
Walking on, walking on broken glass.
Do you know, do you know how I feel?
Shining light.
(Do be do be do do do, oh - oh)
Walking on, walking on broken glass.
You light up my life.
