Glass on the Floor

(Intro)

You’re doing fine, I hear
New smile, new crowd, same old air
I’m not calling to be sweet
I’m calling ’cause the truth has teeth

(Verse 1)

I kept my voice polite like a habit
Swallowed my why like a pill
Held your secrets like they were sacred
While you practiced leaving me still

And now it’s look how grown up
Look how calm you’ve become
Funny how your peace showed up
Right when you were done

(Pre-Chorus)

Did you rehearse that little line
About how I’m too much, too wild?
’Cause I remember every time
You loved the fire then blamed the smoke for miles

(Chorus)

So tell me do you feel it at all?
When the room goes quiet, when the lights go soft
Do you get a flash of me right through your favorite song
Or am I just glass on the floor you step over and move on?

Yeah, glass on the floor
Don’t say you didn’t know
Yeah, glass on the floor
It cuts when you get close

(Verse 2)

You’re being honest now how convenient
Like truth is a jacket you wear
I was the punchline in your weekend
But the cost was mine to repair

Your friends said I’d bounce back
Like I’m some rubber band
But I snapped in a pretty way
You wouldn’t understand

(Pre-Chorus)

Did you trade in your restless heart
For a life that won’t ask you to change?
’Cause you used to lean into the hard parts
Now you flinch like my name is a blade

(Chorus)

So tell me do you feel it at all?
When the room goes quiet, when the lights go soft
Do you get a flash of me right through your favorite song
Or am I just glass on the floor you step over and move on?

Yeah, glass on the floor
Don’t say you didn’t know
Yeah, glass on the floor
It cuts when you get close

(Bridge)

I’m not asking for an apology
I’m not handing you a stage
I’m just naming what you did to me
So it can’t hide in time and age

And if you ever feel brave
Look me dead in the face
Say you never loved the chaos
Say you never loved my rage

(Final Chorus)

So tell me do you feel it at all?
When the room goes quiet, when the lights go soft
Do you get a flash of me right through your favorite song
Or am I just glass on the floor you step over and move on?

Yeah, glass on the floor I’m still here
Don’t say you didn’t know don’t rewrite
Yeah, glass on the floor say it clear
It cuts when you get close

And it’s damn hard to forget
And it’s shit you don’t regret
Yeah, glass on the floor
It cuts when you get close

(Outro)

You can call me overdramatic
I’ll call you predictable
Funny how you hate the mirror
When it’s finally visible
