The Ropes Within

I smile
You cringe
I relax
You frown

Oh my heart is made of glass
Of the most transparent kind
Yes you see into me
Yes you see my deadly wants.

But do you see the ropes within
That make my heart what it is without
Can you feel the cold within
That made my heart what it is now

Do you see how my heart is tied
A thousand single pieces
It's a picture that didn't come out quite right
Do you see the pieces of my heart

Here I am
I'll open up
Read what's written
On every piece of my heart

Look at the pictures
See how the ropes are tied
You'll know that I'm a masterpiece
That didn't quite come out right.
