Glass heart

Lyrics

You talk like nothing hurts
Like you never stayed awake
Trying to hold a world together
While it slowly starts to break

I laugh a second too late
You look away too fast
Funny how we call it love
When we know it never lasts

And all I wanted
Was something honest
But honesty cuts deep

So go on
Break my glass heart
Watch the light fall through it
You were good at leaving marks
Even when you didn’t mean to do it

And I still hear your name
In every crowded room
Ohhhhhhhhhh—
What a beautiful way to lose

There’s smoke hanging in the air
From words we never said
Somebody’s singing downstairs
While I replay us instead

You touch my hand for a moment
Then pull away again
Like we’re standing at the edge
But neither one jumps in

Maybe love is
Just two people
Trying not to disappear

So go on
Break my glass heart
Watch the light fall through it
You were good at leaving scars
Without ever really meaning to

And I still hear your voice
Even when the room goes quiet

Aaaaaahhhhhhh
Don’t say forever if forever changes
Aaaaaahhhhhhh
Don’t pull me close if you can’t stay-e-ay-e-ay-e-ay

So go on
Break my glass heart
Let the whole world see through it
I was never scared of love
Only scared of what we’d do with it

And I still say your name
Like it could bring you back
Ohhhhhhhhhhh—
But nothing shines forever
After cracks
