Shards of Glass

I remember it so clearly
Last year on Christmas Eve
Walking through the mall and happy
Just to spend that time with you
I was surprised that you could see me
Cause your parents were so strict
But your mom was out of town
So your father was more loose

If I had known back then
The way that things turned out
I'd savor all that time because one day
It all runs out and then
Shatters into pieces
Like shards of glass
And the good times are left on the floor

To be stepped on once more

I kinda miss bringing you flowers
At the end of every show
I'd hide then in my car to surprise you
Even though you knew each time
And we got each other blankets
In our favorite colors
I bet you didn't know that every night
I still sleep with mine
I expected so much from you
I wanted to see you change
That was wrong of me and I'm sorry
I didn't realize what I had
And I'll admit that after all that time
I took you for granted
But I know you don't blame me
Cause our time wasn't all that bad

If I could go back then
When I was your resolve
I'd savor all that time because one day
It all runs out and then
Shatters into pieces
Like shards of glass
And the good times are left on the floor

To be stepped on once more

We made plans to spend the day together
On my eighteenth birthday
Just like last Christmas Eve
Cause you've made every highlight in my life
But my family planned a trip that day
Without me even knowing
I was upset they didn't ask me first
But they'd made up their minds
When I got home you came over
But you couldn't stay too long
You brought me a box of gifts and
They're still in my room back home
Sometimes I'll reach in my closet
To read every single letter
Even after we broke up
Each day that jar still lost a note
You looked beautiful in that green dress
I wish I would've told you
We had our own prom and I felt so bad
Cause we were supposed to match
You saved me a dance (You saved me a dance)
But I couldn't look your way (But I couldn't even look in your)
And when we talked about it later (Direction)
I didn't know what to say
At least we gave it our all (Seeing pictures of you)
Till that very last day (Makes me sick because I'm still)
Now I'm shattered (Attached)

So now I'm saying goodbye
So now I'm saying goodbye
It's time to close this chapter
I have no tears left to cry
So now I'm saying goodbye
So now I'm saying goodbye
Thank you for all of the laughter
And for every try
Goodbye to visits after lessons (So now I'm saying goodbye)
And late nights at Maddie's (So now I'm saying goodbye)
Goodbye to breaking down outside her house
Cause I didn't wanna leave
Goodbye to Christmas Eve (So now I'm saying goodbye)
The blankets the letters
The jar of notes (So now I'm saying goodbye)
And the dance I left behind
Ooh woah ooh woah

If I could go back then
When I was your
Resolve (Resolve resolve resolve)
I'd savor all that time because one day
It all runs out and then
Shatters into pieces
Like shards of glass
And the good times are left on the floor

Like shards of glass
Now's my turn to leave 'em on the floor
