[Verse 1]
You said
“hold this”
Hand me your heart like a glass
All those hairline
Cracks that you “fixed” with a laugh
I keep sipping
From a cup that cuts my gums
Red on the rim
I still pretend it’s just plum
[Chorus]
I got glass in my teeth
From the words that you threw at me
Chewing on the edges of your cruelty
You say “baby
That’s just how I speak”
But I’m bleeding when I try to agree
Yeah
I’m smiling with glass in my teeth
Glass in my teeth
[Verse 2]
You draw halos
On my bad days with black ink
Call it “healing”
While you’re twisting how I think
You say I’m lucky
Just to live inside your storm
Call it shelter
While you’re breaking every door
[Chorus]
I got glass in my teeth
From the jokes that you peel too deep
Laughing while you carve me into something weak
You say “baby
That’s just honesty”
But I’m choking on the shards you leave
Yeah
I’m smiling with glass in my teeth
Glass in my teeth (oh)
[Bridge]
How do you love me
Then sharpen the truth
Hold me so gentle
Then bruise every bruise
You paint the damage
In delicate blues
Call it a portrait
But it’s all of you
[Chorus]
I got glass in my teeth
From the lies that you dressed as peace
Swore it was a blessing just to watch me bleed
You say “baby
You belong to me”
But my tongue is cutting loose
Finally
Spitting every little piece
Every little piece
No more glass in my teeth
