Glass Heart
Girard
Glass Heart
(Verse 1)
I hold my breath, don’t let it show,
A thousand cracks beneath the glow.
One wrong move, one careless word,
And I’ll be shattered, lost and unheard.
(Verse 2)
I wear a smile, but it’s all a mask,
Afraid to ask for love, afraid to ask.
The pressure builds, I can’t pretend,
I’m breaking inside, don’t know how to mend.
(Chorus)
I’ve got a glass heart, fragile and thin,
One little slip, and it’s all gonna spin.
I’m scared to fall, scared to breathe,
Afraid of the cracks that you might never see.
(Verse 3)
I keep it hidden, tucked away,
But it’s slipping slowly, day by day.
The weight of the world, too much to bear,
I don’t want to break, I don’t want to care.
(Bridge – soft, haunting, with a subtle crescendo)
You see the cracks, they’re never far,
A broken soul behind every scar.
Don’t push too hard, don’t look too deep,
I’m barely holding on, and I can’t sleep.
(Chorus – bigger, with more emotion)
I’ve got a glass heart, fragile and thin,
One little slip, and it’s all gonna spin.
I’m scared to fall, scared to breathe,
Afraid of the cracks that you might never see.
(Outro – soft, lingering piano, almost whispering)
A glass heart, a fragile plea,
Will you hold me close, or set me free?
I’m breaking, I’m bending, I’m scared to show,
But I’ll keep holding on, even if I don’t know…
