[Verse 1 – Female Lead] I smile like I’m unbothered, like the world is mine to take— but every grace I offer is a choice I calculate. You think I live in luxury, but darling, that’s the art— I built my life on bargains paid in whispers from the start. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – Female Lead, soft backing harmonies] Blanche taught me subtle power, Gabrielle taught me control— I learned to turn a rumor into currency I hold. ⸻ [Chorus – Full vocal, layered harmonies] 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 deal in quiet reckonings, in debts you can’t impart. It’s kindness ’til it isn’t— that’s a hush money heart. ⸻ [Verse 2 – Female Lead] I don’t believe in innocence— I’ve worn too many names. A queen in borrowed lineage who mastered richer games. You praise my charm in daylight, you trust me after dark— but I could end your legacy with a single well-placed spark. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2 – Female Lead, slightly lifted harmonies] I see the tells you try to hide, the fear beneath your grin— I smile like nothing’s shifting, while I watch the fault lines spin. ⸻ [Chorus – Full vocal, stronger harmony lift] 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 reckonings, in debts you can’t impart. It’s kindness ’til it isn’t— that’s a hush money heart. ⸻ [Bridge – Intimate vocal, then bloom into harmony] I sweeten every story ’til the bitter fades away— that’s how you build an empire that no truth can outweigh. They think my kindness harmless, they never read the part— where sugar turns to strategy in a hush-money heart. ⸻ [Final Chorus – Expansive harmonies, polished ending] Hush money heart— I’ll hold your truths ’til kingdom come. But step too far, and don’t forget— I’m who you’re running from. I deal in quiet reckonings, in debts you can’t impart. It’s kindness ’til it isn’t— that’s a hush money heart.
