[Verse 1]
She sat in a soft-lit room
With my name on her notepad edge
Warm eyes, steady hands
Like she knew my faults by heart
I came in full of bruises
Left with my chest unbarred
She asked the right questions
And I told the truth too hard
[Pre-Chorus]
Now every word she says
Falls like summer rain
And every careful line
Feels like a chain
I see the halo
I see the lock
I see the door
She cannot unlock
[Chorus]
Angel in the glass
Angel in the glass
You heal me and you break me
Angel in the glass
Angel in the glass
Angel in the glass
We stand too close to heaven
And it drags us down at last
[Verse 2]
She remembers my mother's voice
The scar behind my smile
She leans in, never too far
Then she pulls back just in time
Her kindness lights the room
Her concern cuts like gold
And I hate that I need her
More than I can hold
[Pre-Chorus]
Now every word she says
Falls like summer rain
And every careful line
Feels like a chain
I see the halo
I see the lock
I see the door
She cannot unlock
[Chorus]
Angel in the glass
Angel in the glass
You heal me and you break me
Angel in the glass
Angel in the glass
Angel in the glass
We stand too close to heaven
And it drags us down at last
[Bridge]
She said, "This is where it ends"
But her voice still shook
Ethics built the prison
And she threw away the book
I don't want to steal her peace
I don't want her name in flames
But my heart keeps reaching
For the mercy in her hands
[Guitar Solo]
[Final Chorus]
Angel in the glass
Angel in the glass
You heal me and you break me
Angel in the glass
Angel in the glass
Angel in the glass
We stand too close to heaven
And it drags us down at last
Angel in the glass
Angel in the glass
I still love the light you wore
Even when the door shut fast
