Velvet Voice Blues — Bent Key Heart

And music
You say stay the night
Then you check your phone
Laugh at someone's message like
I wasn't home
Coffee on the counter
Lipstick on the rim
You kiss me on the forehead like
I'm just a friend
I'm a bent key heart and your straight
Line lock
Never quite right, but
I still turn twice
You keep my name on the tip of your tongue
Just close enough to call it love.
I'm a bent key heart and you're like that straight
Twisted in the lock of your halfway shade
You shake the door just to hear me cry
And leave me hanging on the other side
You talk about the future
In the safest tense
Homes and little garden
Fenced in common sense
But every time
I reach out
Your shadow moves away
You hold me in the evening then
Lose me in the day
I'm a bent key heart and your
Straight line lock never maybe
I was made
To open other doors maybe
I was shaped for something truer
Something more
You say
Don't go." But you won't change, so
I'll keep the scar and give back the blame
I'M A BENT KEY HEART in your
Straight-line life
Finally turned once, now
I turn out the lights
You keep my name on the tip of your tongue
But this time
I won't call it love.
I'm a bent key heart walking out
That frame, finding me a
Door that can take my shape
You shake the past, but
I won't reply
Don't hang ON THE OTHER SIDE
YOU SAY, "Stay the night
Then you check your phone
Laugh at someone's message like
I wasn't home
Coffee on the counter
Lipstick on the rim
You kiss me on the forehead like
I'm just a friend
I'm a bent key heart in your
Straight line life
Never quite right, but
I still turn twice
You keep my name on the tip of your tongue
Just close enough to call it love
I'm a bent key heart in your lock that's strange
Twisting in the lock of your halfway shame
You shake the door just to hear me cry
And leave and music] me hanging
On the other side
