Glass House & Warm Light 🧬💔
Female solo only. Dark pop ballad, 75–85 BPM. Minimal verse: deep sub bass pulse, soft piano chords, sparse snap/brush percussion, airy pads. Pre-chorus builds with restrained cinematic swell. Chorus: bigger modern pop drums, glossy synth layers, subtle strings, emotional lift without EDM. Intimate close-mic female vocal, expressive and aching, no choir, no crowd chants, no male vocals, minimal harmonies (optional light doubles only in final chorus). Polished modern mix, dark warm tone, spacious reverb.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We built a little heaven out of habit
Coffee rings and hallway jokes at night
I wore your love like it was automatic
Like nothing in the world could shift the light
Then I heard the silence change its texture
Felt the air get thinner when you moved
And every “I’m fine” became a fracture
Running under everything we knew
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m counting all the moments
I should’ve held you when I spoke
I was sure the warmth would stay
I didn’t see the smoke
[Chorus]
We were warm light in a house of glass
So bright I thought it had to last
But one small crack turns into storms
When you don’t catch it fast
And I’m shaking in the aftermath
Trying not to cut my hands
We were warm light in a house of glass
And I still can’t understand
[Verse 2]
Your shadow’s in the places you would linger
Like you’re here and I’m the one who’s gone
I reach for you on pure instinct
Then I remember I’m alone
I don’t want to make you out a villain
I don’t want to play the innocent
I just want the truth without the theater
And the courage to admit what it meant
[Pre-Chorus]
Because love is more than living close
It’s choosing, loud and clear
And I let the world get all my polish
While you got my fear
[Chorus]
We were warm light in a house of glass
So bright I thought it had to last
But one small crack turns into storms
When you don’t catch it fast
And I’m shaking in the aftermath
Trying not to cut my hands
We were warm light in a house of glass
And I still say your name like a plan
[Bridge]
If you need space, I won’t chase you
If you need time, I won’t demand
But I can’t live behind a locked door
Calling distance “understanding”
So here’s my heart without the costume
No clever lines, no perfect spin
Just a girl who loves you hard
And hates how far I let it slip
[Final Chorus]
We were warm light in a house of glass
And I broke what I meant to protect
But glass can melt and start again
If we don’t leave it in regret
If you come back, I’ll hold it gentle
If you don’t, I’ll still withstand
But we were warm light in a house of glass
And I’ll carry the warmth, not just the crash
