3AM Espresso and Cigarettes on the Fire Escape - Heartbreak Bluesy Jazz

🎵 Artist: Frank Caldwell

📝 LYRICS:
[Intro]
The ice clinks once, the curtains barely breathe
The sax curls smoke around the frame
My pulse walks slow along the bar
And every whisper knows your name

[Verse 1]
The hush hangs heavy over chipped glass edges
My hands still shake in the rain
You said we’d be alright by morning traffic
But truth washed out in the rain
You left your scarf to haunt the stool beside me
A ghost that stares at the door
I counted promises like bent brass change
Each one rolled off to the door

[Pre-Chorus]
I sip the bitter, let it brand my tongue
To burn your memory through
The band plays low, the lights keep secrets
I breathe, but not all the way through

[Chorus]
This is The Heartbreak Jazz Club, slow and blue
Where floorboards whisper your name
I sing to the ice while the saxman answers
Every note leans toward your name
I’m sitting alone in a dimly lit bar
A room built for sleeping alone
I pour my heart like cheap red matches
Struck, then fading, alone

[Verse 2]
I climb the fire escape, pockets full of thunder
A cigarette maps my bones
Sparks drift down like unkept vows
Little fires among the stones
Back in the kitchen of this midnight palace
3AM espresso keeps me awake
3AM clocks tap like guilty fingers
Writing my secrets awake
I walk the empty streets till buses yawn
My footsteps answer the dark
Windows float by like stalled confessions
Each block another spark

[Pre-Chorus]
My friends were promises, they fell like weather
I wore your silence through
You said forever, then changed the ending
Left commas where vows ran through

[Chorus]
This is The Heartbreak Jazz Club, low and true
Where the barstools speak your name
I lean on the brush of the brushed hi-hat
Hiding inside your name
Dim light forgives, but it never forgets us
Two shadows, suddenly alone
I toast the lies you dressed as love
Sip them, and I am alone

[Bridge]
You said the city was ours, your mouth like winter
The truth was written in code
I found the messages, soft as perfume
A second life you wrote in code
I stub out the last of the old belief
Let scar tissue learn to sing
The sax pours mercy over the bruises
I make a room for spring

[Chorus]
This is The Heartbreak Jazz Club, hush and blue
Where floorboards still say your name
But my pulse finds time with the bass tonight
It doesn’t fold on your name
Dim tables glimmer with brave beginnings
I’m learning to sit alone
I drink what’s honest, leave lies untasted
Pay up, then walk home alone

[Outro]
I take the stairs, the night still breathing
The street holds out its hand
A cigarette ember points me forward
Toward daylight I can stand
