Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sun in the blinds
Eyes like sand
Phone on the dresser
Ink on my hand
Half-written texts
Drafted and saved
All of the punchlines
None of the brave
[Pre-Chorus]
You said
"Call me when you’re ready"
I said
"Sure
" then lost the thread
Now my tongue tastes like old excuses
And something I haven't said
[Chorus]
Coffee before apologies
Truth before my alibis
I don’t wanna spin the story
Just to make me look alright
Let it burn
Let it sting
Let the words come out off-key
I’ll drink this straight
Then say your name
Coffee before apologies
[Verse 2]
Shirt on the chair
Keys on the floor
Last night’s bravado
Locked in your door
I practiced my lines
In the bathroom light
But every clever sentence
Never sounded right
[Pre-Chorus]
’Cause you deserve the messy version
Not the polished
Practiced take
So I circle every failure
Like steam around this cup that shakes
[Chorus]
Coffee before apologies
Truth before my alibis
I don’t wanna spin the story
Just to make me look alright
Let it burn
Let it sting
Let the words come out off-key
I’ll drink this straight
Then say your name
Coffee before apologies
[Bridge]
[Band drops to bass and drums
Vocals up front]
No more
"I was tired"
No more
"It was just the night"
If I hurt you
I admit it
I was wrong
I crossed the line (yeah)
[Chorus]
Coffee before apologies
Truth before my alibis
I don’t wanna spin the story
I just wanna meet your eyes
Let it burn
Let it sting
If you walk or you believe
Either way
I earn this moment
Coffee before apologies
