It's fragile, can't you see? Still, I want you close to me. You say something kind, I make a joke. Some words still catch inside my throat. I turn away before you see How much a little kindness means to me. You think I'm hard to get to know. I give you reasons you should go. Then watch the door and hope you stay. I wish I knew a better way. I want your hand. I hold my breath. You haven't even hurt me yet. My glass heart, my glass heart, Waiting for the breaking part. You lean in, I pull away. I want you close. I'm scared you'll stay. My glass heart, my glass heart, Please be gentle at the start. I don't need a love that never leaves. Just mean it when you're here with me. You get quiet, I assume I've said too much, I've spoiled the mood. You're only tired, it's getting late. I've heard goodbye in every word you say. I know you shouldn't have to prove You're not the one who left that bruise. But knowing doesn't stop the fear. I check your face. Are you still here? I want your hand. I hold my breath. You haven't even hurt me yet. My glass heart, my glass heart, Waiting for the breaking part. You lean in, I pull away. I want you close. I'm scared you'll stay. My glass heart, my glass heart, Please be gentle at the start. I don't need a love that never leaves. Just mean it when you're here with me. Here with me. Here with me. It's fragile, can't you see? Still, I want you close to me. I've called it strength, this keeping out. I've said I'm better on my own. But I still turn toward the door When I hear footsteps coming home. You don't have to fix a thing. I don't need the perfect line. When you ask to take my hand, I'll try to leave it there this time. My glass heart, my glass heart, Waiting for the breaking part. You lean in, I start to shake. This time, I don't turn away. My glass heart, my glass heart, Please be gentle at the start. I don't need a love that never leaves. Just mean it when you're here with me. It's fragile, can't you see? Still, I want you close to me. I reach for you. You let me.
