🎤 [Intro – 4 Bars, soft strumming with distant laughter or rain]
🎵
You left the door wide open, but took the keys
Left my heart on "maybe" and the stove on "please"
I still see steam from that cornbread pan
But it’s colder than your goodbye, ma’am
🎵
---
🎤 [Verse 1 – 8 Bars, soulful with attitude]
🎵
Chicken's cold on the countertop
Like your love when the fight don’t stop
You said “I’m fine,” then packed your things
Left mashed potatoes and diamond rings
The rice still soft, like your “forever” line
Said you’d call — I’m still starin’ at the time
You ain’t come back, and that’s the catch
Even the sweet tea tasted like a scratch
🎵

🎤 [Chorus – 8 Bars, catchy & emotional with light humor]
🎵
Cold chicken and heartbreak, sittin’ on my plate
Ain’t no warmth in the words you fake
Left the love, left the lights, left the pie on the tray
But you took my pride and walked away
There’s gravy stains on my favorite song
And I keep reheating what feels so wrong
If love was a meal, we burned it late
Now I’m feastin’ on cold chicken and heartbreak
🎵

🎤 [Verse 2 – 8 Bars, more serious tone under the wit]
🎵
I don’t clean the dishes — feels too soon
Like I’d wash away what you left in the room
Every fork feel like a memory stabbed
Every napkin still got notes we had
I sit at the table like you’ll walk in
But the only sound’s this microwave spin
They say time heals, but this clock don’t tick
Just sits with me in your half-gone flick
🎵
---
🎤 [Bridge – 4 Bars, falsetto harmony or solo high run]
🎵
Your perfume still owns the air
And this meal feels like a love affair
Left me full of what we won’t fix
Servin’ sadness in leftover mix
🎵
---
🎤 [Final Chorus – 8 Bars, stronger delivery, last line held]
🎵
Cold chicken and heartbreak, side by side
Taste of you still stuck in my pride
I toast to nothin’ with a solo spoon
And hum your name like a gospel tune
I clean my plate, but I ain’t full
Just bitter, broke, and pitiful
If you ever miss me past the ache…
I’ll still be here… with cold chicken and heartbreak 🎵
