Glass Between Us

[Verse 1]
You trace my name in the steam on the mirror
Like it’s still yours to hold
Your jacket’s hanging off the chair
But the room feels so cold
I hear your voice in the hallway
But it’s just the wind again
I’m learning how to live with ghosts
That look like my best friend

[Pre-Chorus]
We were fire in a silver frame
Now I’m dancing in the ashes of your name

[Chorus]
There’s a glass between us
I can see you but I can’t get through
Every word is frozen
Every “I love you”
Shattered in the silence
Cutting me in two
There’s a glass between us
And I’m bleeding over you

[Verse 2]
Your side of the bed’s a battlefield
Of battles we never won
We were two hearts on a tightrope
Til the wire came undone
I replay every “forever”
Like it meant what we said
But forever’s just a promise
People whisper when they’re scared

[Pre-Chorus]
We were thunder in the pouring rain
Now I’m screaming but it sounds the same

[Chorus]
There’s a glass between us
I can see you but I can’t get through
Every word is frozen
Every “I love you”
Shattered in the silence
Cutting me in two
There’s a glass between us
And I’m bleeding over you

[Bridge – stripped, then explosive belt]
If I break it, will it fix us?
If I scream, will you stay?
I’d crawl across every shard
Just to hear you say my name

(Beat drops, strings swell)

But love shouldn’t leave you shattered
On a floor you can’t escape
So I’ll let the silence answer
What you’re too afraid to say

[Final Chorus – key change]
There’s a glass between us
And it’s sharper than the truth
I’m still reaching
Through the memory of you
I see our reflections
But they fade with every move
There’s a glass between us
And I’m finally breaking through

[Outro – soft falsetto]
No more shadows in the mirror
No more bruises from goodbye
There was glass between us
Now it’s just me on the other side
