(Verse 1)
I’m sweeping up the pieces of the"forever" we made
Careful not to cut myself on the plans that we laid
The kitchen floor is sparkling with the wreckage of us
From a house built on diamonds that turned into dust
I remember the toast and the light in your eyes
Before the"I do’s" turned to hollow"goodbyes."
(Pre-Chorus)
Every sharp edge is a word that you said
Cutting through the blankets and the side of the bed
I tried to hold on, but it’s hard to stay whole
When the shards are all buried deep in my soul.
(Chorus)
Now I’m walking on broken glass promises
Trying to find where the harmony went
Bleeding out from the"honests" and"honestlys"
And all of the time that we shouldn't have spent
You swore we were solid, you swore we were stone
But you left me to sweep up this wreckage alone
Yeah, the light’s reflecting off the mess on the floor
And I don’t recognize this heart anymore.
(Verse 2)
I found our reflection in a sliver of blue
One half was a lie, and the other was you
I tried to glue the memories back into the frame
But the cracks running through it just whisper your name
It’s funny how something so pretty and clear
Can turn into a weapon in less than a year.
(Bridge)
Don’t tell me you’re sorry, don’t tell me you’ll try
The glitter is blinding, it’s all just a lie
You can’t fix a mirror once it’s hit the ground
You just learn to live with the crashing sound.
(Outro)
Broken glass...
Treading light.
I’m losing this battle
In the middle of the night.
Watch your step...
It’s jagged and cold.
Everything glitters
But it isn’t gold.
