[Verse 1] You left a mark on the sink A ring from your cold little cup I still set out two spoons Out of habit, out of luck Your key hangs by the door I don’t know why I keep it there Every time I reach for you I catch the shape of air [Pre-Chorus] And I try to let it go But my hands keep holding on I hear your name in the hall Then the whole room leans on [Chorus] Glass on my tongue Glass on my tongue I say your name And it comes undone Glass on my tongue Glass on my tongue I swallow the hurt But it stays on my tongue [Verse 2] I wore your sweater once To feel the edge of your day It still smelled like rain And a train that had gone away The plant on my window died You never liked that side Now I water it slow Like I’m feeding back the night [Pre-Chorus] And I try to let it go But my hands keep holding on I hear your name in the hall Then the whole room leans on [Chorus] Glass on my tongue Glass on my tongue I say your name And it comes undone Glass on my tongue Glass on my tongue I swallow the hurt But it stays on my tongue [Bridge] If you call, I might fold Like a paper cup in rain I’ve been strong for a while But strong can still mean pain So I open the door Let the air cut through my chest I’m not asking you to stay Just to leave me with the rest [Chorus] Glass on my tongue Glass on my tongue I say your name And it comes undone Glass on my tongue Glass on my tongue I swallow the hurt But it stays on my tongue [Outro] Glass on my tongue Still warm, still sharp Glass on my tongue In the back of my heart
