[Verse 1] I used to walk past faces Counting cracks along the floor Earbuds loud Eyes vacant Every heartbeat was a chore You sat beside my silence Offered stories Not your name I felt the room get softer Like somebody broke my chain [Pre-Chorus] Every scar you showed me Looked a little like my own In the break between our breathing I heard something growing [Chorus] I want a glass heart Clear enough that you can see straight through Every bruise Every shadow Let it light the way to you I want a glass heart Strong enough to feel your heavy truth If it cracks If it shatters Let the pieces fall on you ’Cause I want a heart for two [Verse 2] You stopped to help a stranger Spilled your coffee on the ground Muttered "Wish I did this sooner" Like the guilt still kept you bound I watched the way your fingers Shook but never pulled away Kindness isn’t clean or easy It’s a choice you make each day [Pre-Chorus] Every time we’re open Feels like standing in the cold But the warmth that rushes through us Fills the spaces we don’t show [Chorus] I want a glass heart Clear enough that you can see straight through Every bruise Every shadow Let it light the way to you I want a glass heart Strong enough to feel your heavy truth [Bridge] [low vocal register] Teach me how to stay When it’s awkward When it aches When their anger hits my armor And my ego starts to shake [whispered vocals] Slow my step So I see who’s left behind Let me trade my fear of hurting For the courage to be kind
