Brittledown

There's a difference between what you see and the truth
Sure, that's me on the screen, but the soot's been removed
And if you really knew me you'd laugh 'cause you know
that I hold up the diamonds and bag up the coal

Oh, would it hurt to let it show?
Oh, let this brittle heart down slow

If I'm honest I don't wanna see where I'm wrong
In the rose-colored mirror that I gaze upon
But I need you to shine, put my heart in the light
Sentence my envy and call out my pride

Oh, but if you have to let me know
Oh, let this brittle heart down slow
Oh, I'm just bracing for the blow
Oh, let this brittle heart down slow

See, I yearn for a surgeon but can't stand the knife
And the treatment to save me would cost me my life
But if changing my heart's my one chance to survive
Just get it out quick before I change my mind

Oh, I'm so scared to let it go
Oh, let this brittle heart down slow
Oh, I'm just bracing for the blow
Oh, let this brittle heart down slow

Come quick, 'cause the cracks are beginning to show
But let this brittle heart down slow
Let this brittle heart down
Slow
