Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1 — soft, fragile, drifting] You keep your memories in jars on a shelf Labeled with years you forgot about yourself Twisting the lids till your fingers go numb Trying to figure out what you’re running from Every little tremor feels like a storm Echoes in your chest where it used to be warm But nothing can touch that locked-away part Where you keep the pieces of your glass heart [Pre-Chorus — rising tension, water-line anxiety] And you swear you’re floating, but you’re sinking slow Towing every secret you refuse to let go [Chorus — emotional, swelling, trembling strength] Drifting in a harbor made of tears you never cried Waiting for the waves to pull you back to life You say you’re the captain, but your hands shake at the wheel Trying to outrun everything you still feel Oh, glass heart harbor, don’t crack tonight Hold your own weight till the morning light [Verse 2 — shaky confession, emotional unraveling] You map out your fears like stars in the dark Tracing constellations through the dents in your heart Your breath fogs the walls of the world you built And the floor shakes with every unspoken guilt There’s a lighthouse flicker in the back of your mind Blinking Morse code you pretend you’re too tired to find You call it survival, but it feels like retreat Walking on water with stones on your feet [Pre-Chorus — the truth rising to the surface] And you swear you’re fighting, but the tides pull strong Trying to convince yourself you’ve been brave all along [Chorus — full, aching, vulnerable] Drifting in a harbor made of tears you never cried Waiting for the waves to pull you back to life You say you’re the captain, but your hands shake at the wheel Trying to outrun everything you still feel Oh, glass heart harbor, don’t crack tonight Hold your own weight till the morning light [Bridge — intimate whisper, confession to self] Oh captain, let’s make a truce Drop the anchor on the truth You’re scared of breaking—yeah, me too But storms don’t pass unless they move through You don’t have to drown to prove you tried Let the water rise, then let it slide [Final Chorus — soft but victorious, trembling hope] Floating in a harbor made of tears you finally cried Letting all the waves pull you back to life You held your ship steady with a trembling hand Learning you don’t need to have a plan Oh, glass heart harbor, you made it tonight You held your own weight till the morning light
