[Verse 1] I woke up with the cracks In my hands and in my chest Carried all that weight Like a prayer I couldn't rest Your name in my mouth Like a stone I couldn't swallow I smiled through the ache But the whole world felt hollow [Pre-Chorus] If I fall apart Will you still know my face? If I lose my shape Will you make me stay? [Chorus] Brittle bones, hold me now Brittle bones, don't break down I am tired of standing tall When my heart can barely crawl Brittle bones, hear my plea Brittle bones, carry me If I shatter, let it be In the hands that made me [Verse 2] I have kissed the floor With my doubt and my defiance I have sung my fear Like a flame inside the silence There were nights I swore I was nothing but an ending Still a small white spark Kept my ruined ribs from bending [Pre-Chorus] If I fall apart Will you still know my face? If I lose my shape Will you make me stay? [Chorus] Brittle bones, hold me now Brittle bones, don't break down I am tired of standing tall When my heart can barely crawl Brittle bones, hear my plea Brittle bones, carry me If I shatter, let it be In the hands that made me [Bridge] I was never made of steel I was made to feel Every wound, every loss Every trembling seal So if mercy comes Let it come through the pain I will not hide my ruins I will call Your name [Chorus] Brittle bones, hold me now Brittle bones, don't break down I am tired of standing tall When my heart can barely crawl Brittle bones, hear my plea Brittle bones, carry me If I shatter, let it be In the hands that made me [Outro] Brittle bones, I am here Brittle bones, through the tear Still I rise, still I breathe In the hands that made me
