Copper Hair Prayer

लिरिक्स

[Verse 1] I see you by the feed store Hair like a burned-out sunset Red as a foundry flame You laugh and I forget my name You brush past the duralight door Boot heels on the gravel floor And I keep my hands in my pockets Like that could stop this ache [Pre-Chorus] I bite my tongue 'til it bleeds I play the part you need But every time you turn My whole damn chest still burns [Chorus] When you smile at me I fall to my knees (When you smile at me) I can't make you see When you smile at me I'm half of a ghost (When you smile at me) And you don't know me most [Verse 2] I sit in the church lot after Staring at your tailgate light You talk about your bad week I pray for one more night Your fingers wrap around that coffee Mine shake on the steering wheel I want to say your name out loud And tell you what I feel [Pre-Chorus] I bite my tongue 'til it bleeds I play the part you need But every time you turn My whole damn chest still burns [Chorus] When you smile at me I fall to my knees (When you smile at me) I can't make you see When you smile at me I'm half of a ghost (When you smile at me) And you don't know me most [Bridge] If I was brave, I'd say it Right there in the dust and rain I'd tell you your red hair Could ruin a saint's last name But I stand here shaking With my heart in a locked-up room You walk off glowing like prayer And I drown in your perfume [Final Chorus] When you smile at me I fall to my knees (When you smile at me) I can't make you see When you smile at me I'm half of a ghost (When you smile at me) And you don't know me most When you smile at me I burn through the dark (When you smile at me) You own my broken heart
