[Intro]
[glass harmonica tone, single heartbeat pulse]
[whispered breath]
[Verse 1]
My heart is made of something clear
You see right through but I’m still here
Red lips pressed against the glass
Every kiss a thing that cannot last
Стеклянное сердце не бьётся тихо
A glass heart doesn’t break — it shatters loud
And every shard becomes a mirror
Showing you the parts you disallowed
[Chorus]
I’m the glass heart on your nightstand
Next to the gun, next to the lie
Tu me vois mais tu ne me comprends pas
You see through me but you don’t see why
Non è la fine — it’s just the fracture
Where the light gets in and stays
Стеклянное сердце, стеклянное сердце
Breaks beautiful, breaks beautiful always
[Verse 2]
He said love is just a cover story
She said cover stories keep you warm
He held the passport with her faces
She held the weather and the storm
Every alias a love affair
Every safe house someone’s bed
She left lipstick on the pillowcase
In every city, something bled
[Chorus]
I’m the glass heart on your nightstand
Next to the gun, next to the lie
Tu me vois mais tu ne me comprends pas
You see through me but you don’t see why
[Bridge]
[heartbeat stops — silence — then massive string swell]
Разбей меня — I dare you
Break me open, drink the red
Every woman with a secret
Is a glass heart in your head
[Outro]
[glass shattering in reverse, reassembling]
[single piano note, heartbeat returns]
