Glass Houses (Official Lyric Video) - Emotional NF Style Rap

Описание: I wanna be loved... but I’m scared to death of ending up alone." 🥀 A raw, cinematic journey into the fear of vulnerability and the scars left by past lies.
About the Song
"Glass Houses" is an emotional, orchestral hip-hop track inspired by the cinematic style of artists like NF and Witt Lowry. Featuring a haunting piano melody and swelling strings, this song explores the internal war between the desperate need for human connection and the paralyzing fear of being lied to again.

When you’ve been hurt before, "I love you" sounds like a threat. This is for everyone building walls to stay safe, even when it’s getting lonely inside.

Lyrics:
I’m staring at the ceiling, fighting with a feeling that I can’t ignore
I built a fortress just to keep the demons out the door
Stacking bricks of silence 'til I couldn't see the floor
Now I’m safe inside the quiet, but I’m rotten to the core
I see you reaching out a hand, I see the light inside your eyes
But my mind creates a movie where that light begins to die
I remember how it felt, the stinging of the lies
So I paralyze the moment 'fore we even get to try
I want to let you in, I swear to God I really do
But the last one left a pattern that I project onto you
I’m terrified of waking up and finding out it isn’t true
That I’m just a temporary fix until you find a better view

My guard is up, my head is down
I’m the king of a lonely town
But the silence is getting loud...

I wanna feel the warmth, I wanna know it’s real
I wanna break the cage, I wanna break the seal
But I’m terrified of falling if you aren't gonna catch
I’m standing by the gasoline, holding on a match
Don’t tell me that you love me if you’re gonna leave again
I’d rather be lonely than to go through all this pain
I wanna be loved, yeah, I wanna be known
But I’m scared to death of ending up alone.

Look, trust is a currency I spent when I was young
Now I’m broke and I’m debted, biting on my tongue
Every "promise" sounds like poison, every "forever" sounds like "run"
I analyze the syntax, checking where you're coming from
Are you here for the season? Are you here for the clout?
If I show you all my baggage, are you walking out?
Cause I got skeletons in closets that I never talk about
And anxiety that fills my lungs and fills my head with doubt
It’s a cycle, it’s a sickness, pushing everyone away
Then complaining that nobody ever wanted to stay
I’m a hypocrite, I know it, living in the gray
But the fear of betrayal keeps the happiness at bay.
​
I wanna feel the warmth, I wanna know it’s real
I wanna break the cage, I wanna break the seal
But I’m terrified of falling if you aren't gonna catch
I’m standing by the gasoline, holding on a match
Don’t tell me that you love me if you’re gonna leave again
I’d rather be lonely than to go through all this pain
I wanna be loved, yeah, I wanna be known
But I’m scared to death of ending up alone.

Please don't lie to me.
If you’re gonna hurt me, do it now.
Don’t wait until I’m open.
Don’t wait until I bow.
I’m handing you a loaded gun...
Please put it down.

So here it is, the ultimatum, written on the wall
I’m stepping off the ledge, I’m ready for the fall
But if you fake it, if you break it, if you make me feel small
I won’t recover from the impact, I won’t get up at all
This is the last distinct fragment of a heart I got left
I’m dying to be held but I’m scared to lose my breath
So if you promise me the sky, don't leave me in the dirt
'Cause I don't think that I can handle any other kind of hurt.

I just wanna be loved.

I just don't wanna break.
