Like a Crystal lyrics

She's walking on a wire made of silver thread With a thousand neon voices echoing in her head She smiles like the morning, but her eyes are made of rain A masterpiece of porcelain, a delicate kind of pain She doesn't need a pedestal, she just needs a steady hand Someone who can listen, someone who understands It's not that she is weak, no, she's just finely tuned To every sharp vibration in a crowded room One heavy word could make the surface start to chip Don't let the sunlight burn her, don't let the rhythm slip She's a crystal, hold her to the light Reflecting every color in the middle of the night You can't just grab and pull, you've got to let her breathe Or she'll shatter in the places that you won't believe Handle with care, keep the pressure low She's a prism made of secrets only few will ever know Just don't make it blow Yeah, treat her like a crystal Treat her like a crystal She's got a heart of quartz and a spirit made of glass Watching all the shadows as the heavy moments pass If you raise your voice, the resonance might break the frame She's a flicker in the hallway, she's a soft-spoken flame So take your shoes off at the door and leave the world behind The beauty that she's hiding is the rarest thing you'll find Fractures, can be beautiful too But they're harder to mend when the damage is through Don't leave her on the edge, don't leave her in the cold She's a treasure that was never meant to be sold Just held, Just kept She's a crystal, hold her to the light Reflecting every color in the middle of the night You can't just grab and pull, you've got to let her breathe Or she'll shatter in the places that you won't believe Handle with care, keep the pressure low She's a prism made of secrets only few will ever know Just don't make it blow Yeah, treat her like a crystal Treat her like a crystal And now the sun is coming through the glass I watch the heavy, dark emotions pass You're clear as water, but you're sharp as stone The rarest jewel that I've ever known No cracks remaining, now you start to glow The only side of you they'll never know She's a crystal, hold her to the light Reflecting every color in the middle of the night You can't just grab and pull, you've got to let her breathe Or she'll shatter in the places that you won't believe Handle with care, keep the pressure low She's a prism made of secrets only few will ever know Just Don't make it blow Yeah, treat her like a crystal Treat her like a crystal Fragile things Are the ones worth saving Handle with care Yeah, handle with care
