Glass in My Hands

Lyrics

Verse 1
I cut the edge too close
Thought I could handle fire
Thumb on the broken glass
Laughing at my own desire

I fed the wound my name
Watched it turn black and loud
Now every step I take
Drags a chain behind the crowd

Pre-Chorus
I knew the warning signs
I wore them like a crown
Now the floor is gone
And I’m going down

Chorus
I hurt myself
I hurt myself
(again, again)
I hurt myself
I hurt myself
I made the flames a friend

Verse 2
I picked at every scar
Till the whole thing came apart
Kept a blade in my grin
Kept a storm inside my heart

I told myself “stand tall”
While I tore the bridge in half
Now the mirror in the hall
Shows a wreck with my own laugh

Pre-Chorus
I knew the warning signs
I wore them like a crown
Now the floor is gone
And I’m going down

Chorus
I hurt myself
I hurt myself
(again, again)
I hurt myself
I hurt myself
I made the flames a friend

Bridge
Let the sirens wake the dead
Let the iron gates unbend
I’m done kissing every wound
Done pretending this is strength

Chorus
I hurt myself
I hurt myself
(again, again)
I hurt myself
I hurt myself
But I’m clawing back again
