You're only in the room next to mine
But this love only hurts sometimes
Don't know what i can say or do

I just know i'm not getting through

The rose petals will wilt away

A new beginning starts today
And all opinions seemed to sway
When you turned & looked my way


[chorus:]
Baby be careful what you say

I might take it the wrong way
Broken glass should make you be careful
Because everything's breakable


Glass ornaments all tucked in a box
Breaking free of the chains & the locks

Nobody wins but you have to choose
If you can do it, you might as well lose


The rose petals will wilt away
A new beginning starts today
And all opinions seemed to sway

When you turned & looked my way

[chorus:]

Baby be careful what you say
I might take it the wrong way
Broken glass should make you be careful

Because everything's breakable

Now i can't see so far

Sitting in the seat of your car
Life has broken us apart
Everything's fragile; even my heart


[chorus:]
Baby be careful what you say

I might take it the wrong way
Broken glass should make you be careful
Because everything's breakable


[chorus:]
Baby be careful what you say

I might take it the wrong way
Broken glass should make you be careful
Because everything's breakable
