LYRICS:
Broken glass on the floor by my bed
Lying next to books
I've never even read

Wide awake, all the mess that I made
Everything I've taken
you're the one who paid

Forget what I have done
Sometimes I've lost you
Sometimes I've won

Just let me do
Everything I can
'Cause everything I do is for you

There's a darkness to my shadow on the wall
Everytime I try to stand
That's when I fall

There's a fever burning deep in my bones
Even when I'm with you
I'm on my own

Forget what I have done
Sometimes I've lost you
Sometimes I've won

Just let me do
Everything I can
'Cause everything I do is for you

Mmm, I do it all for you

You're the lighthouse when I'm lost at sea
You're my band-aid when I bleed
Am I hypnotizing you, like you're hypnotizing me

Forget what I have done
Sometimes I've lost you
Sometimes I've won

Just let me do
Everything I can
'Cause everything I do is for you

I do it all for you

Broken glass on the floor by my bed
Lying next to books
I've never even read

Wide awake, all the mess that I made
Everything I've taken
you're the one who paid

This song is the story of my life for the first 15 years of my marriage. ISTJ with bipolar rage. I didn't know he had an anger problem when we married, nor that his childhood was full of abuse and rejection from his father. I wanted to run but I was certain he would kill himself if I left him, and I didn't want to do that to my kids.. So I stood by his side (with strong boundaries) until he got stabilized on meds and help through counseling. Thank God he is stabilized now, and for the past 4 years finally we have peace in our home. No more broken glass and anger, he is calm and the meds are helping him to measure out his responses to frustrations so he doesn't explode on us like he used to. I'm tired though .... and now that he is stabilized I'm having this weird delayed reaction where I feel like I've earned my ticket to flee. Trying to stay, doesn't make sense after all the hard stuff is behind us, to want to throw it away. So I do what I can, to keep my feelings adjusted and readjusted so I can stay.
