Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I wake up with the weight on my chest

Tie my face up, put pain in a vest

Say I'm good, but I'm barely in sync

Hands keep shaking when I lean at the sink

Crowded room, still I feel unseen

Smile so sharp, but it's not what it seems

Every win got a bruise underneath

Every breath feel like teeth on teeth

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't ask me twice

I might not talk

I been on ice

Walking that walk

Loud in my head

Quiet outside

Prayin' for sleep

Won't come tonight

[Chorus]

I keep a glass smile

(Glass smile)

I keep a glass smile

(Glass smile)

Holdin' all this pain

Till it cuts me deep

I keep a glass smile

While I barely breathe

[Verse 2]

Bills on the table, they staring me down

Old texts on my phone, I don't make a sound

Mama see my face and she knows the lie

I say "I'm all right" with a crack in my eye

Friends want a laugh, want the old me back

I got a storm in my ribs, and it's all too black

Still I show up, still I play my part

Even when the dark keep knocking my heart

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't ask me twice

I might not talk

I been on ice

Walking that walk

Loud in my head

Quiet outside

Prayin' for sleep

Won't come tonight

[Chorus]

I keep a glass smile

(Glass smile)

I keep a glass smile

(Glass smile)

Holdin' all this pain

Till it cuts me deep

I keep a glass smile

While I barely breathe

[Bridge]

If I break down, would you stay?

Would you still know me that way?

I been strong for a long, long time

Now I'm tired of acting fine

[Final Chorus]

I keep a glass smile

(Glass smile)

I keep a glass smile

(Glass smile)

Holdin' all this pain

Till it cuts me deep

I keep a glass smile

But it ain't cheap

I keep a glass smile

And it hurts to breathe
