[Verse 1]
I learned to tiptoe past the rage
Read the silence like a prayer on a torn-out page
Felt love like a loaded gun
Always aimed, but never run
They smiled and said I seemed so shy
Didn’t see the storm behind my eyes
I wore the quiet like a crown
They never saw me breaking down
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I built a life from broken glass
Told myself, “the worst will pass”
But every crack still echoes loud
When no one’s there to hear the sound
---
[Chorus]
I’m not fragile, I’m just full of cracks
A porcelain soul they can’t put back
Still bleeding ink from things unsaid
Dancing with ghosts inside my head
If I look cold, it’s just defense
I learned the hard way what love meant
I’m not fragile...
But I’ve been close
---
[Verse 2]
They told me pain just makes you wise
Then mocked the tears I tried to hide
So I turned my hurt into a stage
And wrote my truth on every page
I joke, I sing, I play it cool
But trauma doesn’t follow rules
I’ve stitched my wounds into a song
But healing’s slow when hurt so long
---
[Pre-Chorus]
And every laugh is part disguise
My calm is just a compromise
But even glass can catch the light
Even shadows burn at night
---
[Chorus]
I’m not fragile, I’m just full of cracks
A porcelain soul they can’t put back
Still bleeding ink from things unsaid
Dancing with ghosts inside my head
If I look cold, it’s just defense
I learned the hard way what love meant
I’m not fragile...
But I’ve been close
---
[Bridge – stripped down, raw vocal]
I used to dream in black and white
Now I write in shades of fight
You call me strong, but never knew
The child I was had no one too
---
[Final Chorus – powerfully emotional]
I’m not fragile, I’m just full of cracks
A porcelain soul still finding its track
Still here, still real, still standing tall
Even when I feel nothing at all
I’m not perfect, but I won’t pretend
This voice is mine until the end
I’m not fragile...
But I’ve been close
---
[Outro – soft piano and whispered line]
They called me quiet… but I was never silent.
Dayzzz
