This week's song:

Glass

by Ingrid Michaelson

Rolled around on kitchen floors

Tied my tongue in pretty bows with yours

And now we pass

And just like glass I see through you

You see through me like I"m not there

You could make my head swerve

Used to know my every curve

And now we meet on a street

And I am blind

I cannot find the heart I gave to you

Sometimes what we think we really want we don't

Sometimes what we think we want we really don't

Sometimes what we think we love we don't, we don't

And I am blind

I cannot find the heart I gave

And when we meet on the street

And I am blind

I cannot find the heart I gave to you

The above video doesn't really have anything to do with the song, but the song is so pretty and the lyrics striking.  Every time this song comes on my iPod I have to stop and ponder it.  Ingrid has a way of making all of her songs sound sweet and lovely, but with a hidden haunting quality in the words.  I love it. 

And isn't it true?  Sometimes what we think we want, we really don't.  Or sometimes we love things that aren't good for us, and while it hurts to ache for them when we want them; a times comes when you realize that you're better off without that-or you find something better.

Someday, somewhere-it'll all be worth it.  Just hang in there and realize you can't feel like this forever.
