I Sign My Name

Intro

(ooh) yeah, ah-ah

Soft strum, take it slow, take it slow

(oh-oh)

Verse

I left a voicemail that I never meant to send, (yeah)

Name on my tongue like a sentence I can't end, (uh-huh)

Guitar on the floor with one string that still bends, it sings when I forget, when I pretend

Late-night lamplight, coffee gone cold, I scroll through pictures where you held my soul

Paper-thin promises, they tear at the fold, I keep a list of apologies I never told, (ayy)

Window fogged up from the breath that I borrow, yesterday owed me half of tomorrow

I count syllables in the lies I swallow, rhyme them into reasons that hollow, that follow

Every soft goodbye became a hard echo (no—), I trace the frets until my fingers let go

Street names, old laughs, a parking lot dance, I crush the cigarette but can't kill the chance

You said you'd stay, I said I'd try, now it's ink and white noise and a quiet goodbye

I trade sleep for the hours that trace your face, wake up to your name stamped on my pace

Tell me I'm reckless, tell me I'm wrong, tell me the chorus where I don't belong

But I hum these bars like a hymn to the thin nights, to the paper boats and the storm lights (yeah)

I fold my regrets into small paper planes, toss them off bridges, watch how they complain

Words come out heavier than they felt in my head, I wear them like necklaces around my bed

If pain is a language, then I'm fluent in shame, I write your initials and I sign my name

(ah) I sign my name, I sign my name

Pre-chorus

You pull at the thread, I knit it back in a rush (rush)

Softly, softly, I keep you in the hush (hush)

Say my name like a bruise, like a hush-hush, like a hush

Chorus

I keep rewinding the part where I stayed (I stayed), I keep replaying the night that we frayed

I keep humming the lines that we never say (never say), I keep humming, keep humming, keep humming away

I keep rewinding the part where I stayed (I stayed), I keep replaying the night that we frayed

I keep humming the lines that we never say (never say), I keep humming, keep humming, keep humming away (oh-oh)

Verse

You left your jacket on my bedroom chair, ragged like questions and moth-eaten care

I used to trace the seams, now I just stare, at the ghost of your laugh in the stale air

Phone lights pop up with a name I don't press, my thumbs learn the silence like it's dress

I walk through our rooms like I'm doing a test, every answer's the same: I'm not blessed, I'm a mess

I moonwalk my doubts down the kitchen tile, press my ear to the keyhole, pretend for a while

That time's a bandage and love's just a file, but I keep finding notes folded up in your smile

I try to write new lines but they bend to your rhyme, your syllables living rent-free in my mind

I draw constellations on a cheap bar napkin, map out the places where my patience went slackin'

Apologies stack up like bills on the floor, every "I'm sorry" j
