lyrics

I wrote your name in the margin of my planner

Between H-E-B and the dry-cleaner tag

Three weeks of my mouth lined up like a banner

Then you came home with your keys and your bag

I practiced the first line over on I-35

At the red by Hildebrand, staring straight ahead

But your boots in the hall made my whole chest go quiet

And the words in my throat folded up in bed

The script stayed folded in my glovebox

Next to receipts and that blue lip gloss stain

I turned it over, thought I had the whole talk

Then you kissed my cheek and I let it rain

I kept it in

I kept it in

I kept it in

I kept it in

Now the glass in the sink still knows my name

And the line I rehearsed went cold

I kept it in

I kept it in

I kept it in

I kept it in

On the kitchen tile, my sandals stuck to the syrup

From the jar you left open by the stove

I had the whole confession tucked under my zipper

But your laugh hit the room and I lost that road

I meant to bring up the text, the drawer, the timing

Your coat on the chair, my keys in my hand

Instead I peeled an orange and kept on smiling

While the whole damn argument slipped through the fan

I kept it in

I kept it in

I kept it in

I kept it in

Now the glass in the sink still knows my name

And the line I rehearsed went cold

I kept it in

I kept it in

I kept it in

I kept it in

Maybe that’s the crime, not the tears I swallowed

Not the way I paced that aisle at the store

It was all those weeks, and the night got hollow

When I chose your hands over the truth on the floor

I kept it in

I kept it in

I kept it in

I kept it in

Now the glass in the sink still knows my name

And the line I rehearsed went cold

I kept it in

I kept it in

I kept it in

I kept it in
