[Verse 1] Ten months of static down a telephone line You packed your bags and drove five hours down the state line Said my anxiety was heavy on your heavy coat You washed your hands and walked away without a second thought "Too much drama, too much noise, too many nerves," you said You wanted someone weightless, walking softly overhead While I was drowning in the questions that you never answered [Chorus] You built a glass house just to watch me break the door Then blamed the glass for cutting up the floor You wanted a porcelain girl who never learned to bleed Someone made of plastic who would never have a need And when the distance stretched too far across the state You called it quits and slammed the iron gate [Verse 2] I searched the silence for the ghosts of what we used to be Convinced another body was drifting out to sea My jealousy was venom, but you poured it in the well Then called me crazy when I couldn't bear the spell You said we're different people, said you're done with all the weight Like ten whole months were nothing on your clean estate [Chorus] You built a glass house just to watch me break the door Then blamed the glass for cutting up the floor You wanted a porcelain girl who never learned to bleed Someone made of plastic who would never have a need And when the distance stretched too far across the state You called it quits and slammed the iron gate [Bridge] No goodbye kiss, just a dial tone hum A cold confession that you couldn't be the one You left me crying while you drove into the night Convenient timing just to keep your conscience light You never loved me—you just loved the easy ride [Chorus] You built a glass house just to watch me break the door Then blamed the glass for cutting up the floor You wanted a porcelain girl who never learned to bleed Someone made of plastic who would never have a need And when the distance stretched too far across the state You called it quits and slammed the iron gate [Outro] Five hours south Into the dark You were a ghost Right from the start Just a voice on a wire Then nothing at all (Fade out)
