#VERSE
A man made of glass lives in fear
Banged up and shattered by the world where he grew
In dark isolation, he was aching for love
Kept searching—and now he’s found you
#CHORUS
I am the man
See the cracks in my heart
But affection you share acts as glue
Years feeling outcast
Crumbling to bits
But the damage is softened by you
Oh, you
#VERSE
This skin made of glass is so thin
You can see his heart glowing
He’s transparent and true
His mind revs like a race car
Looping ’round the same track
And with the flag at the finish—is you
#CHORUS
I am the man
And I hide from the world
So hard to explore someplace new
My shell is fragile
I’m always afraid
But I enjoy adventures with you
#BRIDGE
I have problems making myself clear
Kind of ironic since my skin is transparent
I rehearse what I’ll say but still sound insincere
Add me to your sunny day, I’ll turn the weather inclement
And with this thin skin, I must care for myself
Time alone is key to my self-preservation
I’m hard to understand, and harder to love
So, I lean on your strength as my solid foundation
I lean on your strength as my foundation
#INSTRUMENTAL
My foundation
#VERSE
The man made of glass is not fixed
But he’s solving the puzzle
Got help finding the clues
Doors in his mind swing open
To release restless thoughts
’Cause his partner in life is you
#CHORUS
Oh, I am the man
And finally, I’m safe
See my heart glow in love’s golden hue
I know it’s a challenge
Loving someone like me
So, I’ll never stop loving you
#CHORUS
Yes, I am the man
And my heart is pure glass
And I see now your heart is glass, too
Together we’re healing
Together we’re whole
And that’s why I say
I love you
And that’s why I say
I love you
And that’s why I say
I love you
I... love... you...
#OUTRO
I love you
