Red Hair Mercy

Testo

[Verse 1] You walked in like fire Through my tired old night Red hair like a warning Smile too damn bright I played it cool, baby Kept my hands in my jeans But you lit up the corners Of the worst in me [Verse 2] I don't say your name much When the boys are around Keep my eyes on the table Keep my mouth shut down But you laugh and the whole room Loses its fight And I swear your grin could pull The black from my life [Pre-Chorus] I been hiding in plain sight Every time you move Got a heart full of bad timing And a prayer for you If you ever saw me Would you see right through? Or just that scared little truth [Chorus] Red hair mercy Don't look my way Red hair mercy I'm gone if you stay Your smile burns through me Like dawn in a storm Red hair mercy I want you to want me more [Verse 3] I leave before last call So I don't say too much 'Cause one wrong word And I'm caught in your touch Your hand on my shoulder Could wreck my whole plan I act like I'm fine, babe But I'm barely a man [Verse 4] I dream you come closer Say my name like you mean it Pull me out of this shadow Make me believe it But morning comes mean And I'm back in my skin Just a secret I keep With my fist and my grin [Pre-Chorus] I been hiding in plain sight Every time you move Got a heart full of bad timing And a prayer for you If you ever saw me Would you see right through? Or just that scared little truth [Chorus] Red hair mercy Don't look my way Red hair mercy I'm gone if you stay Your smile burns through me Like dawn in a storm Red hair mercy I want you to want me more [Bridge] If I told you the truth now Would you laugh, would you leave? Would you soften that heartbeat That you woke up in me? I'm not asking for forever Just one honest spark One small yes in the dark [Final Chorus] Red hair mercy Don't look my way Red hair mercy I'm gone if you stay Your smile burns through me Like dawn in a storm Red hair mercy I want you to want me more Red hair mercy Say you feel it too Red hair mercy 'Cause I'm falling for you
