I Waited All Night for a Truth That Never Came - Heartbreak Bluesy Jazz

🎵 Artist: Rose Sterling

📝 LYRICS:
[Intro]
The sax breathes low
Brush drums whisper slow
Ice clinks the brass
I study the brass

[Verse 1]
You texted, “I’m late,” and told me to wait
I folded the hour, smoothing its weight
A lipstick smear on my collar, cold blue
A ride-share receipt that wasn’t for two
You said, “It’s fine,” and drew me a lie
I poured it down slow, but couldn’t get dry
Your laugh in the door, a careless flame
My name on your lips, not said the same

[Pre-Chorus]
You swore, “Only you,” in a borrowed room
You swore, “Only you,” then named my doom
You left the porch light on, a stage-lit stage
You left my trust torn, page by page

[Chorus]
This is The Heartbreak Jazz Club where I bleed
Where the bass walks slow, where I concede
I waited all night for a truth that never came
I counted the beats that spelled your name
The piano forgives what my mouth can’t say
The ride cymbal rains our yesterday
I waited all night for a truth that never came
The lie kept time, and I took the blame

[Verse 2]
3AM espresso, bitter and black
I sip the dark road I can’t take back
A cigarette blooms on the fire escape
I ash the moon, I taste escape
I walk the empty streets, my heels on stone
Storefronts asleep, but I’m not alone
I sit in a dim bar, shoulders in shade
I hum our vow, already frayed

[Pre-Chorus]
You swore, “Only you,” like a practiced line
You swore, “Only you,” while you crossed the line
You kissed me goodnight, then nursed the day
You kissed me goodnight, then kissed away

[Chorus]
This is The Heartbreak Jazz Club where I bleed
Where the bass walks slow, where I concede
I waited all night for a truth that never came
I counted the beats that spelled your name
The piano forgives what my mouth can’t say
The ride cymbal rains our yesterday
I waited all night for a truth that never came
The lie kept time, and I took the blame

[Bridge]
I wash your shirts, then fold back air
I leave your keys on the second stair
I learn to breathe without you tonight
I learn to breathe, and loosen the bite
I talk to the mirror, “You’re still here”
I talk to the mirror until I hear
I stitch the rip with a silver thread
I keep the scar, but not the dread
Sax answers me, a call-and-response
I raise my voice, and drop the wants

[Chorus]
This is The Heartbreak Jazz Club where I bleed
Where the bass walks slow, where I concede
I waited all night for a truth that never came
I counted the beats that spelled your name
The piano forgives what my mouth won’t say
The drum holds space for a gentler day
I waited all night; the dawn finally came
I kept my heart, and I changed my name

[Outro]
I finish the coffee, let the smoke go
I walk home steady, softer and slow
Your promise fades like a backstage flame
I keep the music, not the blame
