[Verse 1] I learned to smile on cue Before I learned to say That truth can leave a mark And still I need to say I held it in my chest Like coins I couldn't spend Now every word I dodge Comes back around again [Pre-Chorus] I keep my hands so clean But my heart stays stained I build a safer room Then lock myself in place One more nod One more "it's fine" I swallow whole What I should define [Chorus] Glass on my tongue Glass on my tongue I know the hurt it brings So I bite it done Glass on my tongue Glass on my tongue I'm free in your eyes But I'm trapped by my own sun [Verse 2] I read the room too fast I taste the shift, I freeze I soften every edge Till I can't even breathe I call it being kind But it's fear in dress-up clothes A prison with my name On every place I go [Pre-Chorus] I keep the door unlocked For everyone but me I let the whole world in Then hide the part that's seen One more nod One more "okay" I make a cage And hand you the key [Chorus] Glass on my tongue Glass on my tongue I know the hurt it brings So I bite it done Glass on my tongue Glass on my tongue I'm free in your eyes But I'm trapped by my own sun [Bridge] If I tell you the truth Will you leave a scar? If I keep saving you What happens to my heart? I don't need a crown I don't need to win I just need one brave word To let the air rush in [Final Chorus] Glass on my tongue Glass on my tongue I know the hurt it brings So I bite it done Glass on my tongue Glass on my tongue I can't keep living In a cage I built from none Glass on my tongue Glass on my tongue Tonight I let it cut So I can say what I've become
