I was staring out the window   The whole time he was talking to me   It was a filthy pane of glass   I couldn't get a clear view      As he went on and on   It wasn't the outside world I could see   Just the filthy pane that I was looking through      So I had to break the window   It just had to be   Better that I break the window   Than him or her or me      I was never focused on just one thing   My eyes got fixed when my mind got soft   It may looked like I'm concentrated on a very clear view      But I'm as good as asleep   I bet you didn't know   It takes a lot of it away if you do      So I had to break the window   It just had to be   Better that I break the window   Than him or her or me      So I had to break the window   It just had to be   Better that I break the window   Than him or her or me      Because the fact in fact   Whatever's in front of me is covering my view   So I can't see what I'm seeing in fact   I only see what I'm looking through      I had to break the window   It just had to be it was in my way   Better that I break the window   Then forget what I had to say      So again I've done the right thing   I was never worried about that   The answer's always been in clear view   But even when the window's clean   I still can't see for the fact   That when it's clean it's so clear   I can't tell what I'm looking through      So I had to break the window   It just had to be   Better that I break the window   Than him or her or me      I had to break the window   It just had to be it was in my way   Better that I break the window   Then forget what I had to say      I had to break the window   It was in my way   Better that I break a window   Then forget what I had to say      Or miss what I should see   Or breaking him or her or me
