Goldie, keep it low

(don’t wake it up)

Yeah

I know what it was

That’s all

I don’t dress it up

You still know the door

I don’t open much

That’s all

I won’t call it love

But you left fingerprints

Where I lock things up

(that’s all)

That’s all

(keep it low)

That’s all

I been hard to read

You were fluent in it

Had a clean exit

Still left bruises in it

I don’t miss you loud

That’s bad business

I just pause sometimes

When your name visits

New perfume on the coat

Still feels borrowed

I learned how to leave

Not how to follow

You were never gone gone

That’s the strange part

You don’t live here

You just own the spare parts

(don’t start)

I’m not broken

I’m arranged wrong

I got rooms in me

That I don’t stay long

Can’t say I need you

Too much debt in that

Can’t say I’m good

Too much stretch in that

Can’t say forever

Can’t say never

I just know your silence

Aged better

That’s all

I don’t dress it up

You still know the door

I don’t open much

That’s all

I won’t call it love

But you left fingerprints

Where I lock things up

(that’s all)

That’s all

(keep it low)

That’s all

You left calm

That was surgical

No slammed doors

No reversible

I made pride

Look intentional

You made absence

Feel professional

I don’t chase

I misplace

I put new names

In old space

They don’t fit right

I don’t fix that

I just dim lights

And sit with that

(low voice)

Yeah

Sit with that

I won’t say lost

I won’t say healed

Some things leave

And still feel sealed

(that’s all)

That’s all

(don’t wake it up)

That’s all
