You wore a crown made of sunlight and gold

A heart so pure

A story untold

But somewhere the sparkle turned into glare

Now you’re the queen of the mirror

Lost in her stare

How did you become this

Tell me why

You were my angel

Now you're a lie

You were so lovely

You were my sky

But now it's your reflection you can't deny

You painted love with the softest hues

Now it's all smoke and distorted views

Every word’s a weapon

A game you play

You built a throne but pushed me away

I trace the cracks in your porcelain soul

Was it the world that made you this cold

I’m just a shadow in your kingdom of glass

Waiting for the love that’s stuck in the past

I gave my all till my soul turned gray

Bruised and battered still I stayed

Every tear a word I couldn't say

Why did you treat me this cruel way

I'm sorry I'm not indestructible

Flesh and bone not unbreakable

I carried the weight till I couldn't stand

I wasn't born with steel in my hands

I tried to shine through every scar

Chasing a light that felt too far

You saw the cracks you saw the seams

But left me lost in broken dreams

Every step I took every night I prayed

Hoping you'd see the price I paid

But now I know it's not my crime

To falter in this fragile time

I gave you my hands though they trembled with strain

Pushed through the ache ran straight through the rain

I bled through my faults but it wasn’t enough

Guess love isn’t love when the road gets too rough

I tried to be strong but my bones they did crack

Carried your world while it broke my own back

I’m sorry I shattered when I tried to stand tall

Guess indestructible wasn’t my call

Why did you treat me like I was a stone

When all I could give was my flesh and my bone

I was not made to be flawless or steel

I gave you my best but I guess it’s not real

I’m sorry my skin wasn’t diamond or gold

I’m sorry my heart wasn’t easy to mold

I’m sorry I couldn’t be what you demand

But I am just human I hope you’ll understand

I fought for the days when we’d rise from the pain

But I’m not a god I can’t shoulder the blame

I stumble I fall and I bleed just like you

But loving should never mean breaking in two
