Another upbeat and motivational track from This is Acting, “Broken Glass” features a roaring chorus with a heavy drumbeat.
Zane Lowe premiered the song on his radio show on January 27th, 2016. At the end of the track he called Sia “one of the best modern songwriters.”
In an interview with Rolling Stone Sia said that “Broken Glass” was one of her favorite songs off This is Acting, but that she thought that it “might only be a bonus track”
The stripped down version of the song was also included in the Spotify Session EP along with other songs on the album.
Lyrics of Broken Glass
Lay down your arms
I don't wanna fight anymore
Rough seas will be calm (will be, will be)
Hold on while we weather the storm
We fall down like dogs playin' dead
Well, our love's not worth playin' chicken with you
I'm not discardin' you like broken glass
There are no winners when the die is cast
There's only tears when it's the final task
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
This too shall pass
When we are where we're meant to be
Learn things I don't ask
I am, I am gonna get her to me
We fall down like dogs playin' dead
Well, our love's not worth playin' chicken with you
I'm not discardin' you like broken glass
There are no winners when the die is cast
There's only tears when it's the final task
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
I'm not discardin' you like broken glass
There are no winners when the die is cast
There's only tears when it's the final task
But don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
I'm not discardin' you like broken glass
There are no winners when the die is cast
There's only tears when it's the final task
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
Don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
Don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
I'm not discardin' you like broken glass
I'm not discardin' you like broken glass
I'm not discardin' you like broken glass
So don't give up, it's just young lovers' romance
