] i havent a heart left in me to break,

not even a few pieces so i can fake-

no dust on which to base any belief

but i'm not scared, so dont call me weak.

i'm stronger now than i ever was,

in your arms, with your love.

i'm stronger now, on my own

with my own dreams, my own home.

i'm happier now, with myself

i dont know any better, that part of me is gone

its up on a shelf...



heart of stone, heart of glass

i'm ok, you can bet your ass

on that.

broken down, falling up,

you might think, i'm just stuck-

but just because i'm not whole anymore,

doesnt mean i'm down on the floor...

or on my knees, begging for more...



i see them everywhere

these happy little blips

and wonder what they're thinking,

do they know thats it?

what they have right now, is the best itll ever be.

the fairy tale doesnt exist, take it from me-

the writer



so time to come to terms

with the truth of life

there is no happy home, no happy little wife

no easy way to hide from the strife

that comes of two becoming one.

i'll learn to love myself and not be undone,

now wont that be fun?





heart of stone, heart of glass

i'm ok, you can bet your ass

an that.

broken down, falling up

you might think that i'm just stuck-

but just because i'm not whole anymore,

doesnt mean i'm down on the floor...

or on my knees, begging for more...



i'll see the world,

i'll conquer the sights

i'll yell my name from mt. olympus's heights

i'll sing my heart to a million plus,

and paint the london tower from an omnibus...

because thats all i need-

just me and my dreams...
