lyrics

You called at one, your voice half-spun

on my porch by the blue ring light

You laughed, said, “I’ll come through by noon”

now your coffee’s gone cold by the light

I kept your note on the fridge with the magnet

kept my keys by the bowl by the door

You swore it twice with your head on my shoulder

now I’m hearing that promise once more

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

I kept the room

you kept the word

Thursday rain on El Camino

your wet sneakers by the doormat

I saved the last peach in a chipped white bowl

you left my name on a voicemail tag

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

I kept the room

you kept the word

Midnight hit, and the ice in my glass

went soft like a page in my hand

I still wore that thrift-store green sweater

waiting for a plan to land

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

I kept the room

you kept the word
You said you would — Hailey Cruz · FERAL
