[Verse 1]
Quiet in the back row
Hiding in her hoodie
Answers every question
Underneath her breath
Notebook full of futures
Plans in every margin
Typing out equations
Like a secret spell
[Pre-Chorus]
She bites her lip when they call her name
World goes loud but she feels the same
Heart on race
But her thoughts take aim
Yeah
She’s made for the hall of fame
[Chorus]
She’s a glass-hearted heroine
Looks so fragile but she never bends
Brain like lightning in a summer storm
Shy girl turning to a thunder roar (oh)
She’s a glass-hearted heroine
One small step and the world will spin
Watch her break through every doubt she’s in
She’s a glass-hearted heroine
[Verse 2]
Lunch time in the stairwell
Headphones up in orbit
Practicing her answers
Like a secret show
Eyes down when they praise her
Smiles then she dodges
But she sees a mountain
Every time she grows
[Pre-Chorus]
She shakes a bit when they say “your turn”
Voice comes out like a hidden burn
Soft at first
Then the edges firm
Every word makes the shadows churn
[Chorus]
She’s a glass-hearted heroine
Looks so fragile but she never bends
Brain like lightning in a summer storm
Shy girl turning to a thunder roar (yeah)
She’s a glass-hearted heroine
One small step and the world will spin
Watch her break through every doubt she’s in
She’s a glass-hearted heroine
[Bridge]
Who told her quiet means she’s weak? (hey!)
Who said bright minds shouldn’t speak?
She’s got galaxies to share
If they stare
Let them stare
‘Cause courage isn’t always loud
Sometimes it’s shaking
Facing the crowd
Every tremble is a sign
She’s crossing over that line (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
She’s a glass-hearted heroine
Looks so fragile but she never bends
Brain like lightning in a summer storm
Shy girl turning to a thunder roar
She’s a glass-hearted heroine
One small step and the world will spin
Watch her write the ending she’s in
She’s a glass-hearted heroine
