The crack , the crack , it opened slow l y after you went a way
I reached to seal it , but the m or e I tried , the deeper it grew
The crack , the crack , it spread out from your name
And ran right through the day I said I ' m fine
Your cup , I put it away in the dra wer
Not because I fear the memory , but the crack it might fall into
You called me strong , and I no dd ed in ag re ement
But strong people carry their cracks on the inside
The crack , the crack , it opened slowly after you went away
I reached to seal it , but the more I tried , the deeper it grew
The crack , the crack , it spread out from your name
And ran right through the day I said I ' m fine
I won ' t say it , I don ' t hur t , I won ' t admit a thing
But cracks don ' t heal just because my mouth is shut
The crack , the crack , it opened slowly after you went away
I reached to seal it , but the more I tried , the deep e r it grew
The crack , the crack , it spread out from your name
And ran right through the day I sa i d I ' m fine
That day I found the crack was running through m e
The crack was never made by you
I built a wall out of missing you
Then pulled it down , brick by brick , with my own hands
Let the wind pass through
The crack , the crack , I ren amed it after you
I t spl it apart , and let the light come in
The crack , the crack , it was never a wound
It ' s the place where the light gets in
The crack
The place where light gets in
