Saving Grace

Lyrics by Mary Lee Kortes, music by M.L. Kortes & Steve Butler

 

You shine like glass
But I see through
They see the sparkle
I see the residue
Of all you池e hiding
All you fake
One day like glass
You値l break

     And I値l be there
     To count the pieces
     With a smile upon my face
     You cut me up
     I put you down in your place
     In the heart-shaped locket round my neck
     I知 saving grace

No more sunny
Valentines
No more pearls
Cast before swine
I知 savouring
This bitter pill
I壇 be in jail
If thoughts could kill  

     And I値l be there
     To count the pieces
     With a smile upon my face
     You cut me up
     I shut you down in your place
     In the heart-shaped locket round my neck
     I知 saving grace

     Saving grace for something better
     Grace for someone new
     There must be at least half the world
     Deserves it more than you

You still got people
Worshipping you
So drink it up
While you致e still got some youth
What were you thinking
What did you need
Just to be famous
Indeed

We were children
On the playground
You were hidden
Even then too wound
I致e seen you grow
not much at all
Others look up to you
But I see your fall

     And I値l be there
     To count the pieces
     With a smile upon my face
     I got no more warmth to waste
     In the heart-shaped locket round my neck
     I知 saving grace
