[Verse 1] I kept the lights on in the hallway Like somebody was coming home I fed the ghost beside the doorway Just to keep from being alone I wore my smile like borrowed armor Painted gold over the blue Everybody saw the shimmer Nobody saw it coming loose [Pre-Chorus] And I’ve been quiet like a fire underground I’ve been breaking without making a sound But there’s a storm in my chest tonight And it wants out [Chorus] So I run with a glass heart Bare feet on the blacktop Bleeding but I won’t stop I won’t stop now, I won't stop now I fall like a dead star Still burning in the dark Try to tear me apart I get louder somehow Oh, I’m not healed I’m not whole But I’m still here With my hands full of gold [Verse 2] I made a home inside the wreckage Hung up pictures on the cracks Told myself that I could fix it If I never looked back But every lie became a window Every scar became a door Now I’m standing in the middle Of what I couldn’t name before [Pre-Chorus] And I’ve been quiet like a fire underground I’ve been smiling while I’m sinking down But there’s a voice in my chest tonight And it won’t drown [Chorus] So I run with a glass heart Bare feet on the blacktop Bleeding but I won’t stop I won’t stop now, I won't stop now I fall like a dead star Still burning in the dark Try to tear me apart I get louder somehow Oh, I’m not healed I’m not whole But I’m still here With my hands full of gold
