I'm stronger than you say I am   Though you act as if I'm weak   One so blind and confused   Mistreated and abused   A heart so frail and meek   Why not try the truth this time?   It will hurt but I'll survive   Baby, can't you see?   Though it's killing me   I will be alive      I don't have a heart of glass   I'm not about to fall apart   It's not too much for it to take   If you drop it, it won't break   I'll prove to you you're not as smart   As you believe   So end my schemes   Shatter my dreams   But you won't shatter my heart      I know you love somebody else   And you know I'm not blind   So leave me alone   To face the world on my own   Leave me left behind   You think that without your love   My life is incomplete   But baby, our love is dead   I need a place for my head   I may cry in defeat, but      I don't have a heart of glass   I'm not about to fall apart   It's not too much for it to take   If you drop it, it won't break   I'll prove to you you're not as smart   As you believe   So end my schemes   Shatter my dreams   But you won't shatter my heart      I try to escape the darkness of my past   Because of this you think I am fragile   And my heart is made of glass   It's impossible to face it and I am so afraid   But as I get older, the fear begins to fade   And I hear a voice inside that cries   "Thank God, I'm free at last!"   And thank God I finally found my voice   I finally can make the choice   To laugh instead of weep   I don't need anyone at all   I am better off alone   I'll take everything I own   With my heart, which you no longer keep      I don't have a heart of glass   I'm not about to fall apart   It's not too much for it to take   If you drop it, it won't break   I'll prove to you you're not as smart   As you believe   So end my schemes   Shatter my dreams   But you won't shatter my heart
