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
