Red Velvet Halo

Songtekst

[Verse 1] I walked in with a crack in my crown Shoes full of ash from the edge of town They said, “Boy, you’re done, stay down” But I kept my name I kept my flame [Verse 2] Seven scars and a borrowed grin Still got a pulse under paper skin Every hard old door I’ve kicked in Left a little room For something new [Pre-Chorus] If I’m a mess, I’m a live wire If I’m a lie, then let me be brighter I’ve been buried in the dark too long Now I’m singing where I don’t belong [Chorus] Hear my hope Hear it ring I’m still here I’m still reaching Hear my hope Through the smoke If I fall, I rise again Hear my hope Hear my hope [Verse 3] There’s a chain on the back of my tongue And a bruise where the old fears hung But I learned how to bite the sun And laugh at fate Right in its face [Pre-Chorus] If I’m a mess, I’m a live wire If I’m a lie, then let me be brighter I’ve been buried in the dark too long Now I’m singing where I don’t belong [Chorus] Hear my hope Hear it ring I’m still here I’m still reaching Hear my hope Through the smoke If I fall, I rise again Hear my hope Hear my hope [Bridge] Let the floorboards shake Let the whole room know I was made from ache But I won’t let it show Not tonight No, not tonight [Final Chorus] Hear my hope Hear it ring I’m still here I’m still reaching Hear my hope Through the smoke If I fall, I rise again Hear my hope Hear my hope
