Lyrics

There's a crack in my mirror I don't know how to fix
A truth I keep buried beneath old tricks
I laugh when I should cry, I run when I should stay
Call it coping, call it cowardice—depends on the day
I don't raise my voice, I don't throw my fists
But there's damage I've done that still exists
I hold the door, I say "yes ma'am,"
But that don't mean I'm really a good man
I'm broken in ways I don't even see
Still doing the best I can with what's left of me
Got ghosts in the walls and dust in the seams
But I still show up and I still believe
In something like hope, in someone like peace
She lit me up once—now she's just out of reach
But I still try to be
Even if I've got cracks you can't see
She saw a spark, I saw a flood
She kissed the scars and tasted the blood
She said I felt safe, she said I felt right
But the truth is I flicker and I don't burn bright
And I know that don't make it okay
That love ain't a thing you can halfway stay
But I meant every word I said back then
Even if I can't say when I'll mean 'em again
I'm broken in ways I don't even see
Still doing the best I can with what's left of me
Got ghosts in the walls and dust in the seams
But I still show up and I still believe
In something like grace, in someone like peace
She lit me up once—now she's just out of reach
But I still try to be
Even if I've got cracks you can't see
There's a version of me I keep chasing down
Wears a smile like a crown
He's kind without effort, he's soft without shame
But I only get close when I'm whispering her name
Some nights I pray just to feel less numb
Some days I feed what I should've outrun
I've buried good things for fear they won't last
And made a home in the hurt from my past
I'm broken in ways I don't let them see
But I still get up and I still believe
That maybe one day, someone might see
The man I keep trying so hard to be
She lit me up once—she still flickers in me
But I let her go
So she could feel free
Now I just try to be
Even through the cracks you can't see
Still trying
Still trying
Still trying to be
