You're only in the room next to mine
But this love only hurts sometimes
Don't know what I can say or do
I just know I'm not getting through

The rose petals will wilt away
A new beginning starts today
And all opinions seemed to sway
When you turned & looked my way

[Chorus:]

Baby be careful what you say
I might take it the wrong way
Broken glass should make you be careful
Because everything's breakable

Glass ornaments all tucked in a box
Breaking free of the chains & the locks
Nobody wins but you have to choose
If you can do it, you might as well lose

The rose petals will wilt away
A new beginning starts today
And all opinions seemed to sway
When you turned & looked my way

[Chorus:]

Baby be careful what you say
I might take it the wrong way
Broken glass should make you be careful
Because everything's breakable

Now I can't see so far
Sitting in the seat of your car
Life has broken us apart
Everything's fragile; even my heart

[Chorus:]

Baby be careful what you say
I might take it the wrong way
Broken glass should make you be careful
Because everything's breakable

[Chorus:]

Baby be careful what you say
I might take it the wrong way
Broken glass should make you be careful
Because everything's breakable
