[Verse 1] I came in with the hem of the day still holding rain in the cuff of my sleeve You talk sweet, but I read the print your halo got stains you forgot to leave I move like a dealer of doubt counting the cards in the cut of the room Gold on my tongue, but I taste the rust when you smile like a whole monsoon Old phone buzzing with a borrowed name I let it ring like a kettle on low Mama said, "Boy, if the math feel crooked" then baby, you already know [Pre-Chorus] So I lean in slow Let the truth come through If the room go quiet I can hear you [Chorus] Pause and think Pause and think Before you paint me blue Pause and think Pause and think I see right through the bloom Pause and think Pause and think That sugar got a bite Pause and think Pause and think I'm gone if it don't feel right [Verse 2] You got that velvet with a blade in it Talk like silk, but it cuts through bone I been the fool with the polished shoes dancing too close to the undertow Now I watch for the tell in your laugh for the flick in your eye when the bill comes due Every little promise wear thin as lace when the moon got a paper loop My crew say, "Slow down, you too sharp" but I like how the truth sits clean Like a plate on the edge of a table one tap and the whole thing leans [Pre-Chorus] So I lean in slow Let the truth come through If the room go quiet I can hear you [Chorus] Pause and think Pause and think Before you paint me blue Pause and think Pause and think I see right through the bloom Pause and think Pause and think That sugar got a bite Pause and think Pause and think I'm gone if it don't feel right [Bridge] Strings climb up the back of my neck like a warning dressed in gold I used to chase every shiny yes Now I weigh every word I'm sold If your heart stay hid in the punchline keep it, I don't need the trick I can love with my eyes half open I can leave with the handle slick [Chorus] Pause and think Pause and think Before you paint me blue Pause and think Pause and think I see right through the bloom Pause and think Pause and think That sugar got a bite Pause and think Pause and think I'm gone if it don't feel right
