Verse 1
Your silhouette in the back row caught the light
I could taste the irony—you always hated crowds
But you came to hear me bleed through the bridge
Finger-snap rhythm keeping time with my heartbeat
Chorus
Honey on the keys, dripping slow and sweet
Every note a reason you can't leave
Honey on the keys, golden and obscene
Playing what we could've been
Verse 2
You didn't move, just lit a cigarette
Smoke curling up like all the words I never said
The drummer knew something was wrong—
Kept the tempo tight, kept me from drowning
Chorus
Honey on the keys, dripping slow and sweet
Every note a reason you can't leave
Honey on the keys, golden and obscene
Playing what we could've been
Bridge
I could see your shoulders drop
When I hit that high note—the one you used to hum
Maybe you came to hurt me
Maybe I needed to hurt to finally feel whole
So I played like letting go was a love song too
Outro
Honey on the keys
Honey on the keys
You can leave now, I'm finally free
