Glass house heart

[Verse 1]
I built a home out of hope and splinters,
you moved in with a smile I believed.
But every word felt like winter,
every shadow whispered, “don’t be naive.”
I held you like the answer to a prayer,
but I’ve learned even prayers can lie.
You swore you’d never disappear,
yet I’ve seen that look in your eyes.

[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep waiting for the floor to give,
for the walls to crack and cave in.
You say love, but what kind of love
is always half-hidden?

[Chorus]
You’re my favorite kind of dangerous,
a fire I can’t let go.
I’m dancing in the embers,
burning just to know
if the next time you touch me,
will be the last time you stay.
’Cause I love you like I trust you…
and I don’t trust you anyway.

[Verse 2]
Your promises are painted windows,
pretty, but they don’t keep out the rain.
I’ve learned to smile through the unknown,
to dress up the cracks with your name.
Every “forever” tastes like maybe,
every kiss hides an alibi.
And I’m too scared to call you baby,
’cause I don’t wanna hear goodbye.

[Bridge]
I’ve tried to hold my breath,
tried to let it slide
but trust doesn’t grow
where the truth can’t survive.
I want to believe you,
God, I want it so bad…
but my hands are on the match
and my heart’s on the glass.

[Chorus]
You’re my favorite kind of dangerous,
a fire I can’t let go.
I’m dancing in the embers,
burning just to know
if the next time you touch me,
will be the last time you stay.
’Cause I love you like I trust you…
and I don’t trust you anyway.

[Outro]
So I’ll keep loving you carefully,
like I’m walking through a minefield at night.
And maybe that’s the tragedy
we’re a war I don’t wanna fight.
