Shattered Glass Lyrics

Did I wake you, were you sleeping, were you still in the bed?
Or is the nightmare keeping you up instead?
Oh baby are you feeling guilty for what you did?
If you think you're hurtin' you ain't seen nothing yet.

Was it really worth it?
Was she everything that you were looking for?
To feel like a man, I hope you know that, you can't come back,
'Cause all we had, is broken like shattered glass.

You're gonna see me in your dreams tonight,
My face is gonna haunt you all the time,
I promise that you gonn' want me back,
When your world falls apart,
Like shattered glass, glass, glass, glass,

Are you havin' trouble focusing throughout the day?
Do you find yourself still callin' my name?
Do you wish you could rewind time and take it back?
I bet you realize that she ain't half the woman I am.

Was it really worth it?
Was she everything that you were looking for?
To feel like a man, I hope you know that, you can't come back,
'Cause all we had, is broken like shattered glass.

You're gonna see me in your dreams tonight,
My face is gonna haunt you all the time,
I promise that you gonn' want me back,
When your world falls apart,
Like shattered glass, glass, glass, glass,
Glass, glass, glass, glass.

Cover art for Shattered Glass lyrics by Britney Spears

This song is about cheating. She's found out he cheated on her and now she letting him know that he can't have her back. She's hating on him and ask rhettorically asking him questions about his new girlfriend and comparing it back to when they're were together. She's basically saying, there's no chance... they're shattered glass cos after glass shatters no matter how much you try, you can never have a whole glass again. and that's them!

This song makes me think about Miranda's storyline in the "Sex and the City" movie. Because she gets all over-dramatic and shouts "WHAT WE HAD IS BROKENNNNNN!!!!!"

thrwmyhrtawy. - Some of those lyrics are wrong... =/

"did i wake you, were you sleeping, were you still in my bed?" No. It's not "Still in 'my' bed" It's "Still in 'THE' bed"

"oh baby are you feeling guilty for what you did?" No. It's not "oh baby" it's "Poor baby"

"be like a man; i hope you know that" No. It's not "Be like a man" It's "Feel like a man"

The meaning is pretty obvious.

what i got it is, she's singing about her being the rebound (without her knowing)and when his ex said she wants him back, he just kinda sorta left her out of nowhere, and now she's singing how its gonna haunt him

this song is brilliant - if only it was longer than 2 mins... x

She says "all we have is broken like shattered glass" referring to an unrepairable relationship.
