Glass Hearts and Violins

We were talking in the kitchen

Half a joke

Half a fight

You said

"Maybe this is finished"

I watched the color drain from the night

Every word hangs in the air

Like it’s waiting to be saved

Then your hand finds mine

And the room starts to sway

Our glass hearts and violins

Both of them shaking on a fragile string

One wrong move and they could crack again

But when you pull me in

All I hear is violins

Playing that promise we keep breaking

Glass hearts and violins

You say you’re bad at staying

I say I’m scared to believe

But we keep setting one more table

Two more plates

One more chance to eat our grief

Every doubt stuck in my throat

Every fear written on your face

Then your breath hits my neck

And it all gets erased

[low vocal register] If we shatter

Let it be in rhythm

If we fall

Let it be in tune

[growing strings] Let the bow chase every bruise we’re hiding

Till the cracks glow in this living room
