lyrics

Mum left the envelope by the kettle, neat and square

My report card folded inside, with my school photo there

You said nothing at dinner, just rice on your plate

But you turned it face out on the fridge at half past eight

I saw your hand on the magnet, quick like you meant it

Your thumb on my name, like you had to keep it

You never said the words, but I felt it in the room

The paper stayed for days, right there by the broom

You kept it

You kept it

You kept it

You kept it

That was enough for me

Back in Peckham, I rang you from the bus stop rail

You asked if I ate, then you changed the subject by mail

I found my old workbook tucked under Dad’s blue hat

Your pen had circled one line, and I stared at that

I wanted praise in your voice, wanted roses in the air

But you showed me your love in the way you kept it there

One small proof on the door, in the light by the spoon

Now I know what you meant when you came in that room

You kept it

You kept it

You kept it

You kept it

That was enough for me

No speech, no big scene

Just my face on the green

Fridge door, one hard click

And my heart went quick

You kept it

You kept it

You kept it

You kept it

That was enough for me
