[intro] I saw you across the bar on a Tuesday The kind of beautiful that makes you look away I ordered something cheap and kept my eyes down Wondering how it feels to not overthink a room You walked over like it was nothing to lose Like I was someone you could choose I laughed it off, said you’re in the wrong place, baby You said I’ve been looking for exactly this (Pre-Chorus) Mirrors don’t soften anything they show And I’ve memorized every line I’ve earned How do you hold something you don’t trust How do you let it in when you’ve learned to let go (Chorus) I push and I pull you like a tide I can’t name I love you in private, then retreat from the flame You call me beautiful—I misread the tone I leave before I’m ever alone I’m a glass man—thin, already cracked Light passes through, but I don’t hold it back How do you keep something that breaks in your hands When I’ve been letting go since I learned how to stand (Verse 2) You left your shoes by the door like it mattered Like permanence wasn’t something shattered I counted the days until you’d see through me See what I see in the mirror’s cruelty You touched my face like it meant something I called it fatigue, but I was running You stopped reaching—quiet, resigned And I told myself that I was right (Bridge) I did it to us I know I did it to us You were the only thing that felt real And I turned it into a test I could fail I heard you’ll do Every time you said you’re the one I choose (Final Chorus — stripped) I pushed and I pulled you like I always do I loved you in silence, then walked out on you You called me beautiful—I let it decay I burned it down just to feel in control of the flame I’m a glass man—empty, already gone I loved you I just couldn’t believe it long enough to hold on I’m not going to chase you. I already did that. I chased you through every silence you built Through every joke Ithat ’m not wasngoing ’t to a chase joke you.(Verse 1) You think I saw a version of you But I saw you on a Sunday Coffee going cold, talking too fast About something you didn’t care to impress And I thought— that’s the one Not the look The way you move through a room Like you’re carrying more than you show (Chorus) I need you to hear this without running it through Not nod and deflect and quietly undo You are not temporary Not a placeholder in between You are not “lucky to have” You are the reason I stayed (Verse 2) You think forty-three is fading I saw it as someone who made it through And still shows up honest You wear your history like it’s a flaw But it’s proof you’re still here Every line on your face Is something you survived (Bridge) You didn’t ruin us Fear did And fear isn’t failure It’s just unfinished time But listen— Before you rewrite this Before you leave yourself again I wasn’t settling I was arriving (Final) You asked me once—half joking Why you Because you were the only person Who looked at something good And didn’t try to own it [OUTRO] And I’d spent my whole life Around people who took You didn’t You just forgot[FINALE: Build crescendo, fade to silence] I’m a glass , already gone [FINALE: Build crescendo, fade to silence] I’m a manglass man—empty—empty, already , already gone gone I I I loved loved loved you you I you just couldn’t believe it long enough to I I just just couldncouldn’t ’t believe believe it it long long enough enough to to hold hold hold on on on I’Im Ia ’m ’m a glass a glass glass manmanman—empty—empty—empty, already , already , already gone gone gone I I I loved loved loved you you you I I I just just just couldncouldncouldn’’t t ’t believe believe believe it it it long long long enough enough enough to to to hold hold on hold on on [END][END][END]
