Dm
Five years old, first contact
Am                F
Never too young to make a contract
Dm
My blueprints supposed to last
Am              F
I don't remember the walls made of glass

Dm
Learned to protect myself
Am              F
With a facade, hide what I want
Dm
Easier said than done
Am              F
With a mask on, I can’t take off

Chorus:
I've got a secret but
   Dm               F      C
I can't afford for you to hear it
I’ve built a habit but
   Dm              F         C
I haven't got the heart to break it
Yeah, you're putting all my
 Dm          C/E      F
common sense in past tense
I've got thick skin but it's all
 Dm        C/E  F                  Dm C/E F
porcelain and shattering, shattering

          Dm C/E F
Shattering
Shattering

Crowd of three and I'm the one left out
And that was feeding this version of me now
I was folding like paper-mache
Just an ember catching into flames

Learned to protect myself
All my defense is counterfeit
Harder to see the truth
My confidence is almost spent

Chorus

Shattering
Shattering

Em
Look, don't touch, it's hard enough
          F           Am
When you got a lot to lose
Em
Call my bluff when I’m too tough
        F             Am
I need you to cut me loose
                    Em      F      Am
From the prison I'm in, in my own mind
                    Em                   F
Yeah, you carry me through when I'm too tired

Chorus

Shattering
Shattering
Oh, shattering
