Fiona Apple

I was staring out the window
The whole time he was talking to me
It was a filthy pane of glass
I couldn't get a clear view
As he went on and on
It wasn't the outside world I could see
Just the filthy pane
That I was lookin' through

So I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break a window
Than him or her or me

I was never focused on just one thing
My eyes got fixed when my mind got soul
And they look like I'm concentrated
On a very clear view
But I'm as good as asleep
I bet you didn't know
Take the lot of it away if you do

So I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break a window
Than him or her or me

So I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break a window
Than him or her or me

It was the fact
Being back
Whatever's in front of me
Is better in my back
So I can't see what I'm seein'
In fact
I only see what I'm lookin' through

I had to break the window
It just had to be
It was in my way
Better that I break a window
Than forget what I had to say

So again I've done the right thing
I was never worried about that
The answer's always been in clear view
But even when the window's clean
I still can't see for the fact
That when it's clean it's so clear
I can't tell what I'm lookin' through

So I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break a window
Than him or her or me

I had to break the window
It just had to be
It was in my way
Better that I break a window
Than forget what I had to say

I had to break the window
It was in my way
Better that I break a window
Than forget what I had to say

I miss what I should see
Breakin' him or me
