Hellmix Theory

Lyrics

Verse 1
They say you pour good into bad
Stir it up with what you had
Watch it bubble
Watch it bite
Call it justice
Call it life

You mixed anger with the grace
Whiskey tears on a Bible page
Said
“Every saint I ever knew
Had a little hell runnin’ through”

Chorus
That’s the Hellmix Theory
You can’t scrub your story clean
Take a little wrong
Little right
Spin it ‘round in the in-between
You’re the prayer and you’re the curse
You’re the blessing and the hurt in me
Yeah
Love
You and I made sense
In that Hellmix Theory

Verse 2
You kissed soft
But you cut deep
Wrote our names in the backseat
Told me
“Baby
Hearts don’t break
They just bend ‘til they won’t take”

Sunday dress by Friday night
Smudged mascara
Wild eyes
You said
“Heaven’s just a high
You only feel after you’ve fried” (oh)

Chorus
That’s the Hellmix Theory
You can’t scrub your story clean
Take a little wrong
Little right
Spin it ‘round in the in-between
I’m the sinner that you saved
You’re the wound I never want to treat
Yeah
We burned and we believed
In that Hellmix Theory

Bridge
Maybe we were proof on fire
Bleeding truth and cheap desire
If I could choose a way to lose
I’d still lose it all in you (in you)

Chorus
That’s the Hellmix Theory
Carved in every scar I keep
Take a little wrong
Little right
Lay it down where the broken bleed
You’re the prayer I can’t forget
I’m the ghost you never really freed
Guess we loved like we were meant
For that Hellmix Theory
