Glass Halo

Lyrics

[Verse 1] [F] You said your pain looks good on you Like a dress you know too well [M] I learned my name in borrowed rooms Where every bruise had to sell [F] I found my truth in a caption first Before it moved in my bones [M] Now I can’t tell if I’m getting whole Or if I’m just getting shown [Pre-Chorus] [F] Say it slow Say it clean [M] Make it fit Make it seen [F] Every tear gets a frame [M] Every frame gets a name [Chorus] [F] Am I healing Or am I legible [M] Am I healing Or am I put on display [F] Say my name Make it singable [M] Say my name Till it sounds okay [F+M] Oh-oh Who am I now? Oh-oh Who am I now? [Verse 2] [M] You gave me words before my skin Could learn the shape of peace [F] And every room applauded loud When I gave them something neat [M] I wore my hurt like polished glass Held up for every eye [F] But the real thing grows in the dark Where nobody asks why [Pre-Chorus] [M] Say it slow Say it plain [F] Turn the wound into a brand [M] Every smile gets trained [F] Every face gets planned [Chorus] [F] Am I healing Or am I legible [M] Am I healing Or am I put on display [F] Say my name Make it singable [M] Say my name Till it sounds okay [F+M] Oh-oh Who am I now? Oh-oh Who am I now? [Bridge] [F] If I fall apart, let me be unknown [M] If I come back changed, let it be my own [F] No more posing for the room [M] No more speaking before bloom [F+M] I want the hush Before the spark I want a self That isn’t art [Final Chorus] [F] Am I healing Or am I legible [M] Am I healing Or am I put on display [F] Say my name Make it singable [M] Say my name Till it sounds okay [F+M] Oh-oh Who am I now? Oh-oh Who am I now? Oh-oh Let me be found Oh-oh Let me be found
