[Chorus — Huge Guitars, Soaring Vocals] I'm a crystal rose Pretty till you get too close One wrong touch and down I go Please don't leave me all alone [Verse 1 — Melodic, Restrained] I paint my face and get it right Tell everyone I'm doing fine I laugh along, I play my part Then lock the door and fall apart Every little crack I hide Gets a little worse inside I keep pretending I'm in control While losing pieces of my soul [Chorus — Huge Guitars, Soaring Vocals] I'm a crystal rose Pretty till you get too close One wrong touch and down I go Please don't leave me all alone Crystal rose I'm so tired of being cold I look fine, but God only knows How hard I fight to hold it all [Verse 2 — Heavier Drums, Driving Guitars] I check my face in every screen Erase the parts that look too real I make them laugh, I play along Then lose myself when they are gone Some nights the noise won't let me sleep I hide the hurt I cannot keep They say I'm strong, they say I'm gold They never see me when I'm cold [Chorus — Full Band, Sustained Vocal Notes] I'm a crystal rose Pretty till you get too close One wrong touch and down I go Please don't leave me all alone Crystal rose I'm so tired of being cold I look fine, but God only knows How hard I fight to hold it all [Bridge — Stripped Back, Emotional Vocals] Don't call me perfect Don't call me strong I've been holding this together For far too long If I crack open If the colors run Will you stay beside me When the shine is gone? [Breakdown — Raw Female Screams] STOP TELLING ME I'M FINE! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S INSIDE! I'M NOT THE PERSON YOU SEE! THIS IS WHAT'S LEFT OF ME! [Final Chorus — Massive Guitars, Layered Vocals] I'm a crystal rose Pretty till you get too close One wrong touch and down I go But I'm done hiding what I know Crystal rose I'm not as cold as I have shown If I break, don't let me go I'm still learning how to grow [Outro — Soft Vocals, Fading Instruments] Look at me I'm still here All these cracks And all this fear I'm a crystal rose But I'm still growing
