[Intro – Whispered] Broken glass on the floor… Bare feet, walking through what we were… You pull me closer, I pull away… But somehow, we still end up here. [Verse 1] Your shadow’s dancing on my wall I feel you even when you’re gone We used to burn like summer nights Now every touch comes with a price Your hands still know the shape of me But your words don’t feel like they used to We got addicted to the highs Then lost ourselves between the lines [Pre-Chorus] Tell me, can we cross these cracks? Can we find the love we lost somewhere in the past? You look at me like you still know Every secret that I never show And I hate that I still want you After everything we’ve been through Maybe love is dangerous When the only thing left is us… [Chorus – Dark / Sensual] We’re dancing on broken glass Slowly, slowly, don’t move too fast Your lips say “stay,” but my heart says “run” Still I want you when the night comes Broken glass underneath our feet But your body still feels like home to me We’re bleeding from the love we had Tell me, baby… Can we make something beautiful from broken glass? [Post-Chorus – Breathier] Oh-oh, broken glass Still got me coming back Oh-oh, pull me close Even when I know I shouldn’t get too close [Verse 2] Midnight, your eyes are pulling me in Like we could forget where the damage begins Your heartbeat underneath my skin For one more moment, let me pretend I remember the way you held me Before the silence took control Before the lies became the distance Before we lost the way back home Now every kiss tastes bittersweet Like something beautiful we couldn’t keep And even when I say goodbye There’s still a part of me asking why [Pre-Chorus] Tell me, can we cross these cracks? Can we find the love we lost somewhere in the past? You look at me like you still know Every secret that I never show And I hate that I still want you After everything we’ve been through Maybe love is dangerous When the only thing left is us… [Chorus – Bigger] We’re dancing on broken glass Slowly, slowly, don’t move too fast Your lips say “stay,” but my heart says “run” Still I want you when the night comes Broken glass underneath our feet But your body still feels like home to me We’re bleeding from the love we had Tell me, baby… Can we make something beautiful from broken glass? [Bridge – Vulnerable / Dark] If I give you one more night Will you give me something real this time? No more promises in the dark No more pretending we’re not falling apart If you want me, don’t just say my name Show me you can love me through the pain ‘Cause I can’t keep coming back Just to leave with another crack… [Breakdown – Whispered] Don’t touch me… Unless you mean it. Don’t hold me… Unless you need me. ‘Cause I still feel you… I still want you… But I can’t keep loving Something that’s killing us… [Final Chorus – Explosive R&B] We’re dancing on broken glass Slowly, slowly, make this moment last Your lips say “stay,” my heart says “run” But I’m still here when the night comes Broken glass underneath our feet Still your heartbeat sounds like home to me If we’re gonna bleed, let it be for love If we’re gonna fall, let us fall as one Broken glass… Broken hearts… Can we turn these shattered pieces into art? Broken glass… You and me… Tell me, baby — Can we become what we used to be? [Outro – Soft / Breathless] Broken glass… Still cutting deep… But when you pull me closer… I forget why I should leave… Oh-oh… Maybe we’re broken… Maybe we’re beautiful… Maybe we’re both.
