Verse 1 I speak in gentle phrases, keep my warnings sugar-sweet— I let you think I’m harmless when our glances softly meet. But every word you whisper, every truth you fail to chart— slips easy into safekeeping inside my hush money heart. ⸻ Pre-Chorus I don’t go looking for the secrets— darlin’, they all come to me. And once I hold a story, it’s held quietly, you see… ⸻ Chorus Hush money heart— I keep your secrets soft and warm. But cross my line, and bless your soul— you’ll never outrun the storm. I trade in quiet bargains, love, and debts you can’t impart. It’s kindness ’til it isn’t— that’s a hush money heart. ⸻ Verse 2 I play the part of gracious, sip my tea and smile polite— I nod along to alibis you rehearsed the other night. But sugar, I remember every slip you thought was small— and should the night turn dangerous, I’m the one who knows it all. ⸻ Pre-Chorus 2 So speak your sweetest story, tell me who you aim to be— but just know the truth beneath it still finds its way to me. ⸻ Chorus (Full) Hush money heart— I keep your secrets soft and warm. But cross my line, and bless your soul— you’ll never outrun the storm. I trade in quiet bargains, love, and debts you can’t impart. It’s kindness ’til it isn’t— that’s a hush money heart. ⸻ Bridge (Polished Southern Danger) I don’t raise my voice to warn you— I just look and let you feel that subtle shift of reckonin’ beneath the sugar and the steel. There’s power in the quiet, in the knowing where to start— and mercy’s just a courtesy inside my hush money heart. ⸻ Final Chorus (Soft & Deadly) Hush money heart— it beats in secrets, slow and sure. The truths you thought were harmless are the ones I keep secure. I’ll hold them like a promise ’til the night you fall apart… Oh, kindness has its limits— in my hush money heart. ⸻ Outro (Whispered) Soft… sweet… dangerous… that’s a hush money heart.
