Lyrics

Glass

Intro

A heart... is like glass.

Beautiful,

and a fragile thing.

You can hold it in your hands,

but you never know

how much pressure it can take.

Verse 1

I used to think that hearts were strong,

That if you loved, you couldn't go wrong.

I thought the cracks would disappear,

If I just waited through the years.

But every word can leave a mark,

Every goodbye can leave the dark.

And every time I let someone in,

I risked the breaking all again.

Pre-Chorus

So I learned to hold my pieces tight,

Keep them hidden out of sight.

But when the light comes shining through,

Every crack reminds me of you.

Chorus

A heart... is like glass.

It's beautiful, and a fragile thing.

It will crack, it will bruise,

And not even glue can hide those scars.

You can put the pieces back,

You can try to fill the gaps,

But when the sunlight hits just right,

You can still see every fracture in the light.

Verse 2

Some cracks came from words I trusted,

Some came from promises that rusted.

Some were made by letting go,

Some by things I didn't know.

I tried to make myself brand new,

Erase the past and start anew.

But maybe scars aren't meant to hide,

Maybe they're proof I stayed alive.

Pre-Chorus

I don't have to hate the cracks,

I don't have to take them back.

They're a part of what I've been,

Not a sentence for what comes next.

Chorus

A heart... is like glass.

It's beautiful, and a fragile thing.

It will crack, it will bruise,

And not even glue can hide those scars.

You can put the pieces back,

You can try to fill the gaps,

But when the sunlight hits just right,

You can still see every fracture in the light.

Bridge

Maybe I was never meant

To be untouchd.

Maybe beauty isn't found

In something without a scratch.

Maybe every broken edge

Can catch the light.

Maybe I can still be whole

Without pretending I'm alright.

Final Chorus

A heart... is like glass.

It's beautiful, and a fragile thing.

It can crack, it can bruise,

And still be worth protecting.

You can put the pieces back,

Even if the seams remain.

And when the sunlight hits just right,

Those scars can turn to something bright.

Outro

A heart is like glass...

Fragile, but still beautiful.

Cracked,

but not worthless.

And maybe that's enough.
