Verse 1 (UK cadence – sad, fast-spoken)
I hear your name in the lamplight hum,
Street still wet where the night’s begun.
Your face in the steam on a café glass,
I blink too long and the moment’s past.
Your laugh was a kingdom, your touch a flame,
Now I’m just ash with a different name.
You said “we’re fine,” but the vowels felt torn,
Like a half-spilled prayer on a Sunday morn.
⸻
Pre-Chorus (Hooky, metabolic phrases)
Can’t rewind the skyline, can’t fix the frame,
Every word we swallowed still tastes the same.
⸻
Chorus (Soaring, heartbreaking)
🎶 I’ve got glassbones, shatterin’ through,
Every crack in the silence still points back to you.
Metaphors bleeding, I choke on the sound,
Love was a kingdom, now it’s battleground.
Yeah, I’ve got glassbones, breakin’ in two,
But every fracture still belongs to you. 🎶
⸻
Verse 2 (UK cadence, semi-fast)
You said “carry on” but your tone betrayed,
Like a map with no compass, I lost my way.
Your smile was a weapon, soft and sharp,
Now I’m bleeding ink from a broken heart.
These nights taste bitter, metallic, cold,
Your absence a story that’ll never be told.
I try new pages, but the ink won’t stay,
Every line dissolves when I write your name.
⸻
Pre-Chorus (Hooky)
Can’t erase the echoes, can’t mend the tune,
Your ghost still lingers in every room.
⸻
Chorus (Soaring, Catchy, full of hooks)
🎶 I’ve got glassbones, shatterin’ through,
Every crack in the silence still points back to you.
Metaphors bleeding, I choke on the sound,
Love was a kingdom, now it’s battleground.
Yeah, I’ve got glassbones, breakin’ in two,
But every fracture still belongs to you. 🎶
⸻
Bridge (Lift, haunting – original phrasing)
Ohhh, your shadow’s an orbit, draggin’ me near,
Ohhh, I’m gravity’s captive, stuck in your sphere.
Invented words spill like unbroken hymns,
A requiem carved in the shape of your sins.
⸻
Final Chorus (Big, heartbreaking, repeated hooks)
🎶 I’ve got glassbones, shatterin’ through,
Every crack in the silence still points back to you.
Even when I’m hollow, even when I’m bruised,
The weight of your memory is the anchor I choose.
Yeah, I’ve got glassbones, fragile and true,
Every break I carry still belongs to you. 🎶
