[Verse 1] I folded my coat by the door Like I might leave my name there The sink held a moon of water And my hands looked older than prayer I been kind to the hard parts I been honest with the scars But the quiet in this house Keeps asking who you are [Pre-Chorus] If I crack, let it be clean Let it be light on the floor If I crack, don't call it ruin Call it a window, call it a door [Chorus] If I crack, I crack open If I crack, let the dark out If I crack, I still got breath Still got my name in my mouth If I crack, I crack open Not to break, but to begin If I crack, let the truth come in Like dawn through a paper skin [Verse 2] I saw my father in the mirror In the seam by my jawline He taught me to carry thunder With a smile and a straight spine But some days the weight is holy Some days it asks too much So I set my pride on the table And I let it lose its touch [Pre-Chorus] If I crack, let it be clean Let it be light on the floor If I crack, don't call it ruin Call it a window, call it a door [Chorus] If I crack, I crack open If I crack, let the dark out If I crack, I still got breath Still got my name in my mouth If I crack, I crack open Not to break, but to begin If I crack, let the truth come in Like dawn through a paper skin [Bridge] I don't want perfect I want real I want the place Where the wound can heal I want the laugh That comes after rain I want to meet myself Without the chain [Final Chorus] If I crack, I crack open If I crack, let the dark out If I crack, I still got breath Still got my name in my mouth If I crack, I crack open Not to break, but to begin If I crack, let the truth come in Like dawn through a paper skin If I crack I crack open If I crack I let love in
