[Intro] The glass above us shakes The golden ceiling aches One word is all it takes Tonight [Verse] You threw my letters on the floor Like dead birds dressed in ivory I said I couldn’t do this more You smiled and called it honesty The room went colder than the rain The portraits leaned in from the past I felt the house receive our pain Like it had waited for the blast [Pre-Chorus] Then every candle lost its flame And every shadow found a face You said my love had changed its name I said your love was just a place [Chorus] The Chandelier Trembles when we fight Crystal tears in electric light The Chandelier Trembles over us Gold and dust and broken trust We are beautiful, we are cruel Two ghosts drowning in one pool The Chandelier Trembles, let it fall Let it shatter through us all [Verse] Your voice was velvet over steel My hands were shaking at my sides You asked me what I truly feel I told the truth and watched it die You said I owed you every year You said I made your darkness worse I said I loved you out of fear You said that fear was just a curse [Pre-Chorus] The music stopped inside the wall The staircase held its breath We stood beneath that crystal fall Like lovers dressed for death [Chorus] The Chandelier Trembles when we fight Crystal tears in electric light The Chandelier Trembles over us Gold and dust and broken trust We are beautiful, we are cruel Two ghosts drowning in one pool The Chandelier Trembles, let it fall Let it shatter through us all [Instrumental] Guitars slash bright across the room Drums march hard into the gloom [Bridge] Say it again Say I am yours Say love is pain Say pain endures Say all the things We used to bless Now every vow Means nothing less [Breakdown] Glass above Blood below Hearts like stones Thrown slow [Build-up] If it falls, we see the sky If it breaks, we learn to cry If the ceiling opens wide Maybe truth can step inside [Chorus] The Chandelier Trembles when we fight Crystal tears in electric light The Chandelier Trembles over us Gold and dust and broken trust [Chorus] We are beautiful, we are cruel Two ghosts drowning in one pool The Chandelier Trembles, let it fall Let it shatter through us all [Outro] The glass above us shakes The golden ceiling aches One word is all it takes Tonight
