Fractured Glass by Cordelia Cross

“Fractured Glass” by Cordelia Cross
A poignant ballad about vulnerability, self-doubt, and the power of connection to heal even the most fractured parts of ourselves.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Every crack in the mirror tells a story I’ve denied,
Pieces scattered, jagged edges, a truth I try to hide.
The weight of all my failures, pressing down on me,
But I keep pretending I’m someone you want to see.

[Pre-Chorus]
You look at me like I’m whole, but I’m breaking.
You hold my hand like I’m strong, but I’m shaking.

[Chorus]
I’m just a shadow behind fractured glass,
Trying to outrun a broken past.
Every step I take feels like I’m sinking fast,
But you see something in me that I can’t grasp.

[Verse 2]
The words you say, they echo, but they don’t quite sink in,
I’ve built these walls too high, too thick, to let you in.
Still, your light cuts through the darkness like a flame,
And I wonder if you’ll stay when you see I’m not the same.

[Pre-Chorus]
You call my name like it’s hope, but I’m hollow.
You lead the way like it’s clear, but I can’t follow.

[Chorus]
I’m just a shadow behind fractured glass,
Trying to outrun a broken past.
Every step I take feels like I’m sinking fast,
But you see something in me that I can’t grasp.

[Bridge]
I’ve spent so long hiding, drowning in my shame,
The reflection in the mirror, it’s me but not the same.
If I let you see the scars, would you turn and run?
Or could you love the shattered pieces, every single one?

[Chorus]
I’m just a shadow behind fractured glass,
Trying to outrun a broken past.
Every step I take feels like I’m sinking fast,
But you see something in me that I can’t grasp.

[Final Chorus]
And if I fall apart, will you pick me up?
When I’ve given all I have, will it be enough?
‘Cause I’ve been lost so long, chasing what can’t last,
But with you, I might escape my fractured glass.
