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?
Oh, when you're gone, we won't say a word
But you know that's okay
Don't you know that's okay?
