"Backwards/forwards" Lyrics

(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.
(Don't 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!)
These are 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.
