Quiet Mercy

Verse 1

Shattered glass stayed in the hallway

Everyone just stepped aside

But you knelt

Slow hands and a steady gaze

Pick it up

Pre-Chorus

They didn't see the mess

They didn't hear the break

You felt the weight

Chorus

Quiet mercy

Small grace in a cold room

Quiet mercy

Turning the lock on a long afternoon

A soft seat

A warm tea

A true soul

You let the air back in

Verse 2

Rushing water under the bridge

Shadows swallowed up my name

Lending your coat

Finding a way to stop the bitter rain

Pre-Chorus

They didn't see the mess

They didn't hear the break

You felt the weight

Chorus

Quiet mercy

Small grace in a cold room

Quiet mercy

Turning the lock on a long afternoon

A soft seat

A warm tea

A true soul

You let the air back in

Bridge

Maybe you saved me

Maybe you just held the door

Held my hand

Held your breath until I found the shore

Chorus

Quiet mercy

Small grace in a cold room

Quiet mercy

Turning the lock on a long afternoon

A soft seat

A warm tea

A true soul

You let the air back in
