[Verse 1]
Thunder rolled behind the factory wall
Porcelain cup cracked when you didn’t call
Steel in my chest, velvet on your tongue
You left your promise where the old bells rung
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the ghost of your perfume
Hangs in the hallway dust
I taste the rust of every word
That sounded good to us
[Chorus]
Pour me one more whiskey, let the room go still
I’m learning how a promise can be dressed to kill
Your silence has a heartbeat, knocking through the floor
I was yours for the taking—you were never sure
[Verse 2]
Rusted keys sleep underneath the sink
Your photograph curls at the edge of the ink
Porcelain hands on a midnight train
Steel-blue eyes that never held the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept your name like contraband
Wrapped in a velvet sleeve
But every ghost gets tired of haunting
Every heart must leave
[Chorus]
Pour me one more whiskey, let the room go still
I’m learning how a promise can be dressed to kill
Your silence has a heartbeat, knocking through the floor
I was yours for the taking—you were never sure
[Bridge]
Thunder fades beyond the county line
The cracked cup holds no heat tonight
No more rust beneath my skin
No more asking you to let me in
[Final Chorus]
Pour me one more whiskey, then I’ll face the dawn
The ghost of what we promised is already gone
Your silence taught me something I was scared to know:
A heart can break like porcelain—and still let go
[Outro]
Still let go
Still let go
