silk and glass

You don’t leave fingerprints on me No 3 a.m.

spiral, no “did I say too much”

Your voice doesn’t echo after you hang up

The room stays the same size when you’re gone

I keep waiting for the catch The part where it starts to

sting But it just… doesn’t

I used to collect the bruises Wear them

like proof it was real

Now there’s nothing to show for it

And I don’t know how to feel

Painless This love don’t cut,

don’t bruise, don’t stay

Painless

I don’t lose my breath when you look away

Painless

No flood, no fire,

just you in the dark

Painless

I think I could get used to this (I think I already

have) You don’t rewrite my name in your mouth

Don’t make me smaller so you can feel tall Your silence isn’t

a weapon

It’s just quiet And I can hear myself think

I keep touching the same old scars

Making sure they’re still there They are

They just don’t hurt the same (mmmmm) I used to need the

fall

Needed the proof it could break me

Now it’s just warm

And I don’t know if that’s better Maybe I wanted it to

hurt So I’d know it was

mine Maybe I don’t trust anything That doesn’t leave a mark Tell

me it’s okay If it never does

Painless This love don’t cut… Painless I don’t lose sleep… Painless Just

you Just this Painless (humm mmm)
