You said my name
Like a locked door
Put your hand on mine
Then left me sore
Paper in your pocket
Ink on your tongue
You swore it was forever
Now look what we’ve done
I kept every word
In the dark of my chest
You left it there shaking
Like a bird in a nest
Now the floor is splitting
Under where we stood
And I can hear the crack
Where your promise should
Ruined oath, ruined oath
You broke it slow
Ruined oath, ruined oath
Now I know
Say it clean
Say you let it go
Ruined oath, ruined oath
That’s all you own
Your ring on the sink
Your coat by the chair
Cold black coffee
Still hanging there
I tried to forgive
Tried to stay kind
But every soft excuse
Was a knife in my mind
I kept every word
In the dark of my chest
You left it there shaking
Like a bird in a nest
Now the floor is splitting
Under where we stood
And I can hear the crack
Where your promise should
Ruined oath, ruined oath
You broke it slow
Ruined oath, ruined oath
Now I know
Say it clean
Say you let it go
Ruined oath, ruined oath
That’s all you own
Don’t call it fate
Don’t dress it in gold
You made a vow
Then you sold it cold
I’m not your wound
I’m not your proof
I’m the last bright thing
You couldn’t keep through
Ruined oath, ruined oath
You broke it slow
Ruined oath, ruined oath
Now I know
Say it clean
Say you let it go
Ruined oath, ruined oath
That’s all you own
Ruined oath, ruined oath
Let it show
Ruined oath, ruined oath
I let you go
