House of Glass

Verse 1 We stitched the skyline from reflections Hung our names inside the dawn Every window held a promise Till the morning carried on Light was dancing through the fractures Like forgiveness dressed in gold Never knowing all that beauty Only shines where something's broke You were breathing like a psalm I couldn't bear to leave unread So I built a home from whispers Inside everything you said The walls were thin as revelation Every heartbeat echoed back We mistook transparency For something built to last Chorus We built a house of glass Praying it would never break Every touch another fracture Every breath another quake You were sunlight through the ceiling I was standing in the shards Thought that love could keep us living Inside a house of glass Verse 2 The moon looked different through the splinters Like heaven cut a different shape Every piece still held your outline Even after you escaped The silence wore your silhouette Like smoke wears dying flame Every room became a mirror Calling me by someone else's name I swept the floor of broken heavens Hands stained silver from the dust Trying to rebuild forever With the pieces left of us Still the wind kept finding openings Still the cold knew where to start Some foundations never crumble... Only hearts Chorus We built a house of glass Praying it would never break Every touch another fracture Every breath another quake You were sunlight through the ceiling I was standing in the shards Thought that love could keep us living Inside a house of glass Bridge Cathedrals aren't abandoned All at once The candles disappear One by one Every crack ignored Becomes a door For the night... To enter... Breakdown I watched forever... Become transparent... Chorus We built a house of glass Just to watch the light pour through Every shattered piece reflecting Little fragments back of you Now the windows know my secrets Now the walls have lost their past Some things only look eternal... When they're made... Of glass... Even broken... It still reflects...
