Dancing on Glass No More

Verse 1

I grew up chasing echoes in the pouring rain,

Trying to smile while carrying the weight.

Every crack inside my heart became another scar,

Yet I kept on moving, never getting very far.

I'd twirl beneath a sky that never seemed to clear,

Pretending I was fearless while I drowned in fear.

I learned to laugh when all I wanted was to cry,

Believing I was meant to only survive.

Pre-Chorus

Then the silence found me...

And someone reached out his hand.

For the first time, I believed

Tomorrow wasn't out of my plans.

Chorus 1

I was a little soul, in a big wide world.

Broken down, bit by bit, piece by piece.

I had to learn to just dance,

Through the broken melody of life.

So I danced,

And danced.

Even when it hurt, but I learned showing the pain,

Gets nowhere. I became a master of masks.

But then one day, Arthur, you came into my life.

The music stopped abruptly, so did my dance.

I was confused, and a little scared.

But I let myself trust the change...

Oh, how glad I am I did.

Verse 2

You never asked me to become somebody new,

You simply saw the colors hidden in my blues.

You laughed with every part of who I chose to be,

Never tried to cage the heart inside of me.

Now every step I take feels lighter than before,

The shattered floor has turned into something worth dancing for.

And every beat reminds me as the seasons roll,

Love can stitch together even fractured souls.

Chorus 2

Now the music is beautiful, I can feel the sun.

I started dancing again, but now it's softer,

Like I'm not dancing on glass anymore.

You're like me in all the ways I never imagined.

I couldn't be any more grateful.

Before my mind realized it, my heart just knew,

You were the one for me.

So thank you, so very much...

For not rejecting me, like so many have.

For accepting my wild side, and me as a whole.

Bridge

If tomorrow brings another storm,

I know I won't have to stand alone.

We'll write a brand-new melody,

Turning every broken note into harmony.

And if the lights all fade away,

I'll still choose you every day.

Because home was never just a place...

It was always the person who made my heart feel safe.

Final Chorus

I was a little soul in a big wide world,

Broken down, piece by piece.

I learned to dance through life's broken melody,

Hiding behind a thousand masks.

Then you walked into my life,

And everything changed.

Now the music is beautiful, I can feel the sun.

I'm dancing again, but this time it's gentle,

Like I'm not dancing on glass anymore.

Before my mind realized it, my heart already knew,

You were the one for me.

Thank you for loving every part of me,

My wild heart... and all of me.

Outro

The world still turns, the seasons still change,

Life still writes its bittersweet refrain.

But now I know, wherever life may lead,

I'll keep dancing...

Not because I have to,

But because you're dancing with me.
