[Verse] I kept the tea warm for ghosts, Folded your chaos into toast. You only knocked when the rain was loud, I was the faithful in your crowd. You picked the softest fruit from my tree, Said thank you like you were owed to me. [Chorus] I was porcelain, you thought I'd crack, You poured your winter down my back. But porcelain, love, when fired twice, Doesn't break - it cuts like ice. So here's your coin back, same cold weight, Taste how hope curdles when it's late. I hope you feel that hollow ache, That hopeless, quiet, sleepless shake, The one you left me in. [Verse 2] I don't slam doors, I just lock them slow, So you can hear how quiet I let go. No more well for your thirsty hands, I turned my ocean into desert sands. You took the good and called it small, Now watch how nothing answers when you call. [Chorus] I was porcelain, you thought I'd crack, You poured your winter down my back. But porcelain, love, when fired twice, Doesn't break - it cuts like ice. So here's your coin back, same cold weight, Taste how hope curdles when it's late. I hope you feel that hollow ache, That hopeless, quiet, sleepless shake, The one you left me in. [Bridge] I won't scream, I won't curse your name, Silence is a louder flame. I am re-tempered, soft and steel, Forgive me not, for now you feel What it is to be disposable. [Outro] You can't break what's already burned, And learned... and learned... To not be used.
