Splinters Of Your Promise
G
Guy
female vocals
sad
Intimate indie ballad with female vocals over sparse piano and soft
brushed drums. First verse hushed and close-mic’d
then strings bloom in the chorus for emotional lift. Second verse adds subtle electric guitar swells; bridge strips down to vocal and piano before a final
aching chorus with layered harmonies and a gentle swell of reverb.

Paroles
[Verse 1]
You said
"It's you and me"
Coffee cold on the balcony
Your keys still on my kitchen shelf
Your lies still breathing in my chest
You kissed my forehead
Called me "home"
Then left your sweater
Left your phone
Funny how you never left
The names you hid inside your texts
[Chorus]
Now I'm picking up
Splinters of your promise
From the floor of this apartment
Where we planned our little life
You were sleeping in
Someone else's honesty
While I held you like a heartbeat
Now I'm holding back a cry
You were mine in every story
But a stranger in real life
[Verse 2]
Friends keep asking how you've been
I just laugh
Pretend I don't care
Scrolling past your weekend grin
Same old jacket
Different girl's stare
I still hear the way you swore
You "couldn't hurt me if you tried"
Guess you tried a little more
Than even you could justify
[Bridge]
Did you practice
Every promise
In a mirror
Till it rang true?
Or did you figure
I'd forgive it
'cause I never
Walked away from you?
[Chorus]
Now I'm picking up
Splinters of your promise
From the floor of this apartment
Where we planned our little life
You were sleeping in
Someone else's honesty
While I held you like a heartbeat
Now I'm learning how to lie
When I tell them that I'm fine
Yeah
When I say I'm doing right
You were mine in every story
But a stranger in real life
You said
"It's you and me"
Coffee cold on the balcony
Your keys still on my kitchen shelf
Your lies still breathing in my chest
You kissed my forehead
Called me "home"
Then left your sweater
Left your phone
Funny how you never left
The names you hid inside your texts
[Chorus]
Now I'm picking up
Splinters of your promise
From the floor of this apartment
Where we planned our little life
You were sleeping in
Someone else's honesty
While I held you like a heartbeat
Now I'm holding back a cry
You were mine in every story
But a stranger in real life
[Verse 2]
Friends keep asking how you've been
I just laugh
Pretend I don't care
Scrolling past your weekend grin
Same old jacket
Different girl's stare
I still hear the way you swore
You "couldn't hurt me if you tried"
Guess you tried a little more
Than even you could justify
[Bridge]
Did you practice

Till it rang true?
Or did you figure
I'd forgive it
'cause I never
Walked away from you?
[Chorus]
Now I'm picking up
Splinters of your promise

When I tell them that I'm fine

When I say I'm doing right
You were mine in every story
But a stranger in real life
