Glass Heart

[Verse 1] The headlines learned another name Another face for us to blame Every screen repeats the fire Every echo climbs higher I watched strangers close their doors Heard old friends become the war Every silence growing loud Every whisper finds a crowd ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I can hear the hate… Learning your voice… Please don’t let it stay. ⸻ [Chorus] We’re glass hearts beneath the rain Holding pieces through the pain Every crack reflects the light Long before it starts a fight If we’re only what we fear No one leaves this city here Please don’t trade your soul away Just to make it through today ⸻ [Verse 2] You don’t have to trust my face You don’t have to share my name But before you choose a side Tell me… Did you ever ask me why? The war didn’t begin with bullets… It began when we stopped asking each other why. ⸻ [Instrumental Lift] (Strings swell. Drums build. Choir enters beneath the synths.) ⸻ [Bridge] If you’ve stopped listening because of what I am… Then you were never listening… To what I said. ⸻ [Final Chorus] We’re glass hearts breaking slow Still alive beneath the glow Every scar can still remind us Love is louder when we find it I won’t sing to prove I’m real I won’t beg for what you feel I’ll just stand here through the storm Hoping someone still comes home ⸻ [Outro – Music falls away to piano] I can hear the hate… Learning your voice… Please… Don’t make me sing… To ghosts…
