Lyrics Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton

Shattered Image

I used to sit for hours as a kid

And dangle my feet from an old flat bridge

Seeing myself in the water below

Shatter my image with the rocks I'd throw

Shatter my image with the rocks I'd throw

Long time gone and a long time ago

When I shattered my image with the rocks I'd throw

The world is cruel and people are cold

Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw

Shatter my image with the rocks they throw

I'm far from perfect but I ain't all bad

And it hurts me more than it makes me mad

We all do things that we don't want told

And we all throw stones that we shouldn't throw

You shatter my image with the rocks you throw

Long time gone and a long time ago

When I shattered my image with the rocks I'd throw

The world is cruel and people are cold

Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw

Shatter my image with the rocks they throw

If you live in a glass house don't throw stones

Don't shatter my image 'til you look at your own

Look at your reflection in your house of glass

Don't open my closet if your own's full of trash

Stay out of my closet if your own's full of trash

Long time gone and a long time ago

When I shattered my image with the rocks I'd throw

The world is cruel and people are cold

Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw

Shatter my image with the rocks they throw

Shatter my image with the rocks you throw

Don't shatter my image with the rocks you throw
