Broken Whiskey Glass

[Intro] [Verse 1] Sunset paints the kitchen window red Another night of dreading what's to come ahead The back door slams, a familiar sound My heart just sinks down to the ground He stumbles in, that look upon his face No kindness left in this forgotten place Hateful look on his face, hands clenched tight in a fist Another reason why I don't get kissed [Chorus] Oh, this ain't love, it's just a cruel disgrace Like shards of a broken whiskey glass Laying here broken, tears upon my face Praying somehow this pain will pass But the hits keep falling, hard and fast Leaving me shattered on this cold floor at last [Verse 2] He shouts the words that cut deeper than the blows Tells me everything a good wife ought to know How I'm worthless, useless, nothing but a mess Deserving every bruise, my body in distress I try to shield my face, curl up small and tight Hoping darkness swallows up the light Of his rage b*****g, wild and uncontrolled Leaving my young spirit bruised and old [Chorus] Oh, this ain't love, it's just a cruel disgrace Like shards of a broken whiskey glass Laying here broken, tears upon my face Praying somehow this pain will pass But the hits keep falling, hard and fast Leaving me shattered on this cold floor at last [Bridge] The room spins slow, the shadows start to creep A silence settles, sudden, dark, and deep His anger spent, he staggers off to bed Leaving me alone with words unsaid And all the hurt that gathers in my chest I know this time, I won't pass the test The strength to rise just isn't there tonight The porch light flickers, fading out of sight [Chorus] Oh, this ain't love, it's just a cruel disgrace Like shards of a broken whiskey glass Laying here broken, tears upon my face Knowing now this pain will never pass The final breath, a soft and weary sigh Beneath the lonely, unforgiving sky On this cold floor, where my last light goes dim With only broken glass remembering him [Outro]
