Oysters

so here's where i've erred; here's what i've done.
found a crack in my glass, but it was pretty half-empty to start.
so out with the old, and bring on the new.
because to fix what i had was a pretty hard thing to do.

but she said that i found a lot of oysters these days.
yes, i found a lot of oysters these days.
and with all comes a pearl and a pretty hard shell to break.
well, i found a lot of oysters these days.

i look to the sun, but i'm closing my eyes.
though my mother had said it, i was quick to look into the sky.
and all through the pain, i swore that i'd try.
and with big sunglasses, she stood there firm by my side.
