Glass Petals

---
[Verse 1]
Glass petals on the floor,
Soft and sharp like love before.
I still see your shadow there,
In the quiet, in the air.
[Pre-Chorus]
We tried to build a world on light,
But lost our way in endless night.
Now all that’s left is a fading tune—
A bloom that broke too soon.
---
[Chorus]
Oh, glass petals, don’t fade yet,
You hold the tears I won’t forget.
Even if you cut my hand,
I’ll cradle you and try to stand.
Love was never meant to last—
Still, I hold it like the past.
---
[Verse 2]
You spoke in words I couldn't keep,
Now they echo when I sleep.
The dream was hollow, but it shined—
A mirrored truth I left behind.
[Pre-Chorus]
Peace was painted, not made real,
Just a mask we couldn’t feel.
But still I trace where we began,
In hopes I might understand.
---
[Chorus]
Oh, glass petals, fall with grace,
A thousand cuts I still embrace.
Even if the world forgets,
My soul recalls, my heart regrets.
All the things we couldn’t be—
Still bloom, in memory.
