Sable Hymn - Wooman Behind Glass

Details

Description

She's like a flower that only blooms in sunlight
But trembles at the rain, her beauty fades
A mirror reflecting the world so bright
Yet she stays behind the glass
Out of reach, fading fast

Every meeting's a transaction, every word a careful sum
But in her eyes hides a question for something that can't be won

She wants love but can't admit it
Wants the fire but fears the burn
Standing where the river meets the edge
Cause she's told she calls it "run"
It's safer here behind the glass
Where nothing hurts but nothing lasts

She conducts life like a scared maestro
Afraid the orchestra might play one wrong note
Her hands hold tight to the ledger
(Woah-oh-oh) A heart writes songs she'll never quote

And when someone finally sees her, when they offer her the key
She turns away, she runs away
Cause broken glass still cuts deeper than the love she won't let be
She wants love but can't admit it
Wants the fire but fears the burn
Footsteps where the river meets the edge
But the stones won't let her turn
It's safer here behind the glass
Where nothing hurts but nothing lasts

She conducts life like a scared maestro
Afraid the orchestra might play one wrong note
Her hands hold tight to the ledger
(Woah-oh-oh) A heart writes songs she'll never quote
(Play nothing)
But nothing lasts
