lyrics

You said it at the Echo, mouth full of gin

At 12:14, with your silver ring dim

You drew my name on a napkin, blue ink thin

I kept it in my wallet, pressed flat by my jeans hem

Now the kitchen tile still remembers your shoes

And the cheap motel key with the scratched-out room blues

I found your lighter beside my lemon-green bowl

You said, “I’ll come back for it,” and I let you hold

You kept your word

You kept your word

You kept your word

You kept your word

It still lands here

On my tongue like a bruise

At 6:03, my phone lit the sink

You sent a one-line text while the kettle would think

I stood by the window in my thrift-store coat

Watching bus brakes flash red through the rain on the road

There was salt on the rim and a crack in the glass

Your laugh on the speaker, then the long pause passed

You said, “I meant it,” soft as a hand on my sleeve

And the whole small room leaned in, like it wanted to believe

You kept your word

You kept your word

You kept your word

You kept your word

It still lands here

On my tongue like a bruise

I still have the receipt from the taquería line

Folded twice in my drawer from that Saturday night

Your coffee-ring mark on my Formica tray

Stayed through the dishwater, stayed through the day

You kept your word

You kept your word

You kept your word

You kept your word

It still lands here

On my tongue like a bruise
