Broken Glass Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We were so close to something right
But we're stupid, but we're stupid, but we're stupid
We could turn love into a fight
Over nothin', over nothin', over nothin'
And the only thing we had in common with each other
Was destroyin' everything we ever touched

[Chorus]
So cheers to us and what we had
Let's keep dancin' on the broken glass
And all that's left is smoke and ash
So let's keep dancin' on the broken glass
Cheers to us and what we had
Let's keep dancin' on the broken glass
'Cause when you're high, you're bound to crash
So let's keep dancin' on the broken glass

[Post-Chorus]
Let's keep dancin' on the broken glass
Cheers to us
Let's keep dancin' on the broken glass

[Verse 2]
We could've done this perfectly
But we're useless, but we're useless, but we're useless
Nobody does a tragedy like you and me
'Cause we're ruthless, 'cause we're ruthless, 'cause we're ruthless
And the only thing we had in common with each other
Was destroyin' everything we ever touched
[Chorus]
So cheers to us and what we had
Let's keep dancin' on the broken glass
And all that's left is smoke and ash
So let's keep dancin' on the broken glass
Cheers to us and what we had
Let's keep dancin' on the broken glass
'Cause when you're high, you're bound to crash
So let's keep dancin' on the broken glass

[Post-Chorus]
Woo-ah
Let's keep dancin' on the broken glass
And cheers to us
Let's keep dancin', dancin'
Let's keep on dancin', yeah
Let's keep dancin' on the broken glass

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
