Righteous Armor

Lyrics

Verse 1
They got me an idealistic attorney
who thinks I belong behind bars
Emilio walked in the courtroom
wearing righteousness like armor
That wedding ring tan line
says more than his words
He’s vulnerable
brilliant
and completely wrong for my world

Pre-Chorus
Should’ve asked for different counsel
Should’ve kept my hands clean
But I keep finding reasons
to let him stay close to me
He fights for me like he means it
fire in a measured suit
And I’m looking past the rules
to the man underneath the truth

Chorus
Emilio, don’t look away
You can’t hide that flame
Emilio, say my name
When the verdict starts to shake
I want the part you save
when the robe falls to the floor
Emilio, don’t look away
I want more

Verse 2
He says he can keep it professional
keep a boundary, keep me out
But every time he meets my eyes
there’s a crack in what he’s about
I see him when the room goes still
I see the want he won’t confess
He built his life on what is right
and I’m built to test the rest

Pre-Chorus
Should’ve asked for different counsel
Should’ve kept my hands clean
But I keep finding reasons
to let him stay close to me
He fights for me like he means it
fire in a measured suit
And I’m looking past the rules
to the man underneath the truth

Chorus
Emilio, don’t look away
You can’t hide that flame
Emilio, say my name
When the verdict starts to shake
I want the part you save
when the robe falls to the floor
Emilio, don’t look away
I want more

Bridge
If he touches my case file
I can feel it in my chest
All that self-control
turning sharp inside his head
He says this line is sacred
I say lines can break
One step closer
and we both might change

Final Chorus
Emilio, don’t look away
You can’t hide that flame
Emilio, say my name
When the verdict starts to shake
I want the part you save
when the robe falls to the floor
Emilio, don’t look away
I want more
