Lyrics
You looked like mercy hanging where I couldn’t reach White tank top in the doorway light Bare feet still on the hardwood floor I came in late with the night on me Same old grin, same cheap excuse You didn’t yell, didn’t throw one thing Just looked straight through what I tried to use Silver chain by the bedroom wall Caught that lamp like a warning truth You said, “I know that tone” like you’d heard it all before Then you turned half away and I wanted you more Halo on a hook by the bedroom light Looking too good for a night like mine You don’t have to leave to make me lose Halo on a hook by the bedroom light Halo on a hook, hanging plain in sight I reached for peace and got pulled by you Halo on a hook by the bedroom light You held up my shirt from the chair by the bed Like proof you were tired of carrying me Said, “You keep coming back half-undone Then acting like I’m what’s wrong with you” Radio low from the kitchen down the hall I stood there still with my hands half-open For once the room was not on my side For once I felt the size of it You said, “I know your kind” but your eyes said don’t make me say it Then you looked at that chain on the wall like love had already weighed it Halo on a hook by the bedroom light Looking too good for a night like mine You don’t have to leave to make me lose Halo on a hook by the bedroom light Halo on a hook, hanging plain in sight I reached for peace and got pulled by you Halo on a hook by the bedroom light No slammed door no shouting scene Just you standing calm doing worse to me One hook one chain one shadow on the wall Funny how the smallest thing can judge you most of all Halo on a hook by the bedroom light Looking too good for a night like mine You don’t have to leave to make me lose Halo on a hook by the bedroom light Halo on a hook, hanging plain in sight I wore my damage in every move Halo on a hook by the bedroom light You looked like mercy and I got there too late
