From what I know
   from what I feel
   from what I learned
   my life turned out to be all broken glass

So this is it, the present tense
just seems I've changed into another man
or did I change into myself
the pages turned me, the different stages
what I was and you're still here

I do not trust you or what it is
that looked me in the eye
in disguise or strange reality
a stranger to me
so many times you've walked away
only to return without a word
still unspoken -- you are leaving

   From what I know
   from what I feel
   from what I learned 
   my life turned out to be all broken glass

so this is it, the present tense
out of sight
after all those years
(those precious years)
when I made it back to life
