Empty Glasses

Lyrics

Verse 1
You said you’d only stay an hour
Now the night is almost through
Empty glasses on the counter
Every one reminds me of you
You’re laughing with your friends beside me
But your eyes keep finding mine
I pretend that I don’t notice
Sip and stare at exit signs

Pre-Chorus
Why do we only talk in glances?
Why do you pull then disappear?
Every time the room starts spinning
You’re the only thing that’s clear (so clear)

Chorus
We’re broken glass on the dancefloor
Cutting through the color and the sound
Too close
Too sharp to hold on
But I still keep you around
You burn my hands when I touch you
Still I trace your name into the dark
We’re broken glass on the dancefloor
And I keep dancing around my heart (oh-oh)

Drop
(Yeah) around my heart
Around my heart
Broken
Broken
Around my heart

Verse 2
You say
“I never meant to hurt you”
Then you pull me by the wrist
Every promise tastes like sugar
Every ending tastes like this
You’re a habit I keep hiding
On my tongue and in my veins
Every time I try to leave you
I just circle back again (back again)

Pre-Chorus
Why do we turn our hurt to heaven?
Hands up high like we’re okay
Every time the chorus’s over
We fall quiet in the haze

Chorus
We’re broken glass on the dancefloor
Cutting through the color and the sound
Too close
Too sharp to hold on
But I still keep you around (keep you around)
You burn my hands when I touch you
Still I trace your name into the dark
We’re broken glass on the dancefloor
And I keep dancing around my heart (my heart)

Tag
So I’ll keep spinning in the silence
While you’re fading in the glow
We’re broken glass on the dancefloor
And I can’t let you go
