[Verse 1]
She counts the cracks in the ceiling
Like they can count for her
One more bruise in the morning
One more lie to endure
Her lunchbox stays full of silence
Her shoes drag through the hall
She learns to smile in pieces
So they won’t ask at all
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t look away
Don’t say it’s fine
She’s holding glass
In both hands tonight
[Chorus]
Glass knee, glass heart
She’s breaking, breaking
Glass knee, glass heart
Still standing, shaking
Say her name
Say it loud
She’s not the hurt
She’s the sound
[Verse 2]
There’s a red mark on her wristband
From gripping the chain too tight
At home there’s a locked door
And a voice that starts a fight
She hides her tears in the bathtub
Under water, under tile
Learns how to make herself smaller
Learns how to fake a smile
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t look away
Don’t call it fate
She’s still alive
Behind that gate
[Chorus]
Glass knee, glass heart
She’s breaking, breaking
Glass knee, glass heart
Still standing, shaking
Say her name
Say it loud
She’s not the hurt
She’s the sound
[Bridge]
If you hear her shoes in the hallway
If you see the bruise on her skin
Knock on the door, keep knocking
Pull the daylight in
She is not made for this
She is not built to bend
She is a fire in a paper room
And this is not the end
[Final Chorus]
Glass knee, glass heart
She’s breaking, breaking
Glass knee, glass heart
Still standing, shaking
Say her name
Say it loud
She’s not the hurt
She’s the sound
Glass knee, glass heart
We’re breaking, breaking
Glass knee, glass heart
Still standing, shaking
Say her name
Say it loud
She’s not the hurt
She’s the sound
