The lights are dim, my hands still shake
Drumsticks fall like promises I break
You called my name from the edge of noise
A ghost of rhythm, a fading voice
The stage was gone, the dream was burned
But in your eyes, the silence turned
To something wild, something pure?
A sound I thought I’d lost for sure
You said, “Play what your scars can feel.”
And time stood still, the wound could heal
Through broken beats and shattered tones
We found a place that we called home
Glass heart, don’t fall apart
Even when the world turns dark
Beat for me, through pain and fire
Let the sound become desire
Glass heart, fragile but real
Every crack’s a song to feel
Bleeding love through every chord
I’ll keep playing, no matter the war
Neon rain and city skies
Echo back our lullabies
Every show, another scar
Every truth, a falling star
You hid your fear behind the fame
I drowned in echoes of your name
We chased a dream we couldn’t hold
But we were brave, we were bold
Your voice was thunder, mine was stone
Together we could stand alone
But when your eyes began to fade
The beat inside me was afraid
Glass heart, don’t fall apart
Even when it breaks my art
Every note you couldn’t play
Still whispers softly through the gray
Glass heart, fragile but real
Every scar begins to heal
If tomorrow fades away
I’ll still hear you when I play
You said, “Don’t cry when I’m gone?
Just let the rhythm carry on.”
So I play the drums beneath the rain
Each drop repeats your name, your name
Stage lights flicker, memories burn
The wheel of sound begins to turn
Your ghost inside my melody
Still keeps the time inside of me
Glass heart, we broke in two
But every piece still shines for you
Beat for love, beat for pain
Beat until I live again
Glass heart, I understand
Fragile souls still learn to stand
If I fall, I’ll fall in time?
To your rhythm, into mine
Through the silence, through the scars
We are nothing, we are stars
My glass heart still sings your name
And nothing will ever sound the same
