Текст песни
[Verse 1]
You trace the cracks
In our old tea cup
Say
"Nothing breaks
All at once"
I laugh too loud
To hide the tremor
You change the subject
But your eyes don’t
[Chorus]
We are glass roses on the table
Beautiful
Breakable
Catching the light
Every touch cuts a little deeper
But I still reach for you every night
If love is only meant to hurt us
Why do I breathe you just to bleed?
We are glass roses on the table
Shining with everything we need
[Verse 2]
You fold my shirt
With that careful anger
Soft hands shaking
Like an autumn leaf
Say
"I don’t know
How to stop remembering"
Every tender moment
Now a thief
[Chorus]
We are glass roses on the table
Beautiful
Breakable
Catching the light
Every touch cuts a little deeper
But I still reach for you every night
If love is only meant to hurt us
Why do I breathe you just to bleed?
We are glass roses on the table
Shining with everything we need
[Bridge]
[Strings swell
Piano climbing softly]
M: I would stay inside your sorrow (oh)
F: I would drown to keep you warm
M: But our promises turn hollow
F: Little ghosts inside the storm
Together: If we walk away tomorrow
Will we carry all this pain?
Or leave it like a faded photograph
Forgotten in the rain
[Chorus]
We are glass roses on the table
Beautiful
Breakable
Catching the light
Every touch cuts a little deeper
But I still reach for you every night
If love is only meant to hurt us
Why do we beg for one more day?
We are glass roses on the table
Slowly
Silently
Wearing away
You trace the cracks
In our old tea cup
Say
"Nothing breaks
All at once"
I laugh too loud
To hide the tremor
You change the subject
But your eyes don’t
[Chorus]
We are glass roses on the table
Beautiful
Breakable
Catching the light
Every touch cuts a little deeper
But I still reach for you every night
If love is only meant to hurt us
Why do I breathe you just to bleed?
We are glass roses on the table
Shining with everything we need
[Verse 2]
You fold my shirt
With that careful anger
Soft hands shaking
Like an autumn leaf
Say
"I don’t know
How to stop remembering"
Every tender moment
Now a thief
[Chorus]
We are glass roses on the table
Beautiful
Breakable
Catching the light
Every touch cuts a little deeper
But I still reach for you every night
If love is only meant to hurt us
Why do I breathe you just to bleed?
We are glass roses on the table
Shining with everything we need
[Bridge]
[Strings swell
Piano climbing softly]
M: I would stay inside your sorrow (oh)
F: I would drown to keep you warm
M: But our promises turn hollow

Forgotten in the rain

We are glass roses on the table
Beautiful
Breakable
Catching the light
Every touch cuts a little deeper
But I still reach for you every night
If love is only meant to hurt us
Why do we beg for one more day?
We are glass roses on the table
Slowly
Silently
Wearing away
Стиль музыки
Sweeping romantic drama over lush symphonic strings and intimate piano; male and female vocals trading lines like a duet in a chamber hall that swells into full orchestra on each chorus. Verses stay close and conversational, almost whispered; chorus rises with soaring harmonies and wide vibrato. Subtle timpani and warm woodwinds support the emotional arc, ending on a tender, almost fragile decrescendo., male vocals, lyrical, violin, sad, drama, female vocals
