"Glass Heart" lyrics

You can see right through me like I'm made of glass
Every crack and fracture on display
I've been trying hard to hold myself together
But transparent things don't hide the breaks away

Handle me with something more than careless hands
I've been dropped before and I know how it feels
The kind of shattering that takes forever
And the kind of hurt that slowly never heals

Glass heart, glass heart
Beautiful but breaking at the seams
Glass heart, glass heart
I'm more fragile than I let you see

They say strong girls don't cry in front of anyone
So I learned to smile while falling apart
But you looked at me like broken could be beautiful
And changed the way I thought about my heart

Maybe fragile doesn't mean I'm weak inside
Maybe glass just means the light gets through
Every scar I carry tells a story
And every story somehow leads to you

Glass heart, glass heart
Somehow stronger for the fracture lines
Glass heart, glass heart
Shining through the broken every time

Don't fix me, don't try to seal the cracks
The light comes in through every broken place
I'd rather be transparent and imperfect
Than hide behind a perfectly smooth face

Glass heart, glass heart
Beautiful and broken, that's just me
Glass heart, glass heart
You love me most when you can really see
