You trace my cracks Like fault lines in your hands Say “You’re so strong” But you don’t understand I’m porcelain Balanced on a shaking shelf Been holding up the weight of everybody else Every “I’m fine” is a hairline fracture Every small lie makes the edges bleed You say I’m unbreakable, I’m alabaster But I’m begging you to see Shatter me Don’t you dare handle me carefully Let it break Let it cut Let it finally bleed I don’t wanna be flawless I just wanna be free So crack me wide open Shatter me Pull me apart till there’s nothing to keep Let the dust of my pieces finally breathe I don’t wanna be perfect I just wanna be me So come a little closer Shatter me Every “I’ll cope” is another fracture Every deep breath is a breaking seam You keep your eyes on the pretty pattern But I’m screaming underneath Shatter me Don’t you dare handle me carefully Let it break Let it cut Let it finally bleed I don’t wanna be flawless I just wanna be free So crack me wide open Shatter me Pull me apart till there’s nothing to keep Let the dust of my pieces finally breathe I don’t wanna be perfect I just wanna be me So come a little closer Shatter me Shatter me Don’t you dare handle me carefully Let it break Let it cut Let it finally bleed I don’t wanna be flawless I just wanna be free So crack me wide open Shatter me Pull me apart till there’s nothing to keep Let the dust of my pieces finally breathe I don’t wanna be perfect I just wanna be me So come a little closer Shatter me
