[Intro]

[Upbeat Afro-pop synth begins, heavy dancehall kick drum enters]

Mm-mm-mm Mm-mm-mm

[Verse 1]

The clock on the wall is the only thing speaking tonight,

Counting the seconds while we’re bathing in this cold, blue light.

I’m looking for a crack in the stone, a sign that you’re still there,

But you’re looking through me like I’m made of smoke and empty air.

I laid my vulnerabilities out like a map across the floor,

Showed you the places I’ve been broken and bruised once before.

But you walked across the lines without looking at the cost,

Leaving me to wander through the ruins of everything we’ve lost.

I’m tracing the shadows of the words you used to mean,

But there’s a frozen ocean standing now in between.

[Pre-Chorus]

My heart is a glass house and you’re holding the stone,

Waiting for the moment to leave me here all alone.

If you can see the damage and not feel the sting,

Then what we had together doesn't mean a single thing.

The silence is a weapon that you’re learning how to wield,

While I’m standing wide open, without a single shield.

[Chorus]

Because if hurting me doesn't hurt you,

If my tears are just water and my pain is nothing new,

If you can break my spirit and still sleep through the night,

Then don't try to tell me that everything’s alright.

Don't reach for my hand, don't pretend you're still the one,

Don't say those three words when the damage is already done.

If hurting me doesn't hurt you, don't ever tell me you love me.

[Verse 2]

I remember a time when you’d flinch if I even sighed,

When you were the anchor against every incoming tide.

Now I’m screaming underwater and you’re standing on the shore,

Watching the waves take me under, not caring anymore.

Is it easy to be hollow? Is it peaceful to be cold?

To trade the warmth of a heart for a story left untold?

You’re a ghost of the person who promised to stay,

And I’m just the shadow you’re trying to cast away.

I’m waiting for your eyes to soften, for your voice to break,

For some kind of proof that your heart is also starting to ache.

[Pre-Chorus]

My heart is a glass house and you’re holding the stone,

Waiting for the moment to leave me here all alone.

If you can see the damage and not feel the sting,

Then what we had together doesn't mean a single thing.

The silence is a weapon that you’re learning how to wield,

While I’m standing wide open, without a single shield.

[Chorus]

Because if hurting me doesn't hurt you,

If my tears are just water and my pain is nothing new,

If you can break my spirit and still sleep through the night,

Then don't try to tell me that everything’s alright.

Don't reach for my hand, don't pretend you're still the one,

Don't say those three words when the damage is already done.

If hurting me doesn't hurt you, don't ever tell me you love me.

[Outro]

Don't say it... if you don't feel the burn.

Don't say it... if it's not your concern.

If your heart is a mirror that's turned to the wall,

If you don't feel a thing when you watch me fall...

Then stay silent.

Just stay silent.

Because if hurting me doesn't hurt you... you never loved me at all.
