You were a child
Who was made of glass
You carried a black heart
Passed down from your dad
If somebody loved you
They'd tell you by now
We all turn away when you're down
You want to go back
To where you felt safe
To hear your brother's laughter
See your mother's face
Your childhood home
Is just powder-white bones
And you'll never find your way back
And when you're gone
Will they say your name?
And when you're gone
Will they love you the same?
If not, that's okay
If not, that's okay
You are broken and callow
Cautious and safe
You are boundless in beauty
With fright in your face
Until someone loves you
I'll keep you safe
But, like them, I will give you away
And when you're gone
Will they say your name?
And when you're gone
Will they love you the same?
If not, that's okay
And when you're gone
Will they say your name?
And when you're gone
Will they love you the same?
If not, that's okay
Oh, when you're gone
We won't say a word
But you know that's okay
Don't you know that's okay?
