Slow It Down for You

Rent Due Heart by Tony Gibbs

I got a couch that swallows spare change
A sink that sings when the pipes complain
Old takeout menus, junk mail stack
And your name still stuck in the Wi-Fi password

I told my friends I’m “fine,” I’m “good”
Like repeating it could make it true

’Cause I paid off the truck, I paid my tabs
But I can’t pay down what we had
Every month hits like a cruel déjà vu
Landlord don’t care, but my chest sure do
If missing you was a bill I could clear
I’d be debt-free by now, my dear
But the past keeps calling—right on cue
Yeah, my heart’s got rent due

I boxed up photos, kept the dog tag
From that mutt that bit my hand in your dad’s backyard
I cleaned the fridge, threw out the sauce
But I keep your laugh like it’s still my job

I don’t drive by, I don’t check your street
I just lose sleep with receipts

’Cause I paid off the truck, I paid my tabs
But I can’t pay down what we had
Every month hits like a cruel déjà vu
Landlord don’t care, but my chest sure do
If missing you was a bill I could clear
I’d be debt-free by now, my dear
But the past keeps calling—right on cue
Yeah, my heart’s got rent due

And I swear I’m not begging you back
I’m just tired of this interest attack
If love’s a loan, I signed too fast
Now I’m learning what “forever” costs

Yeah, I paid off the truck, I paid my tabs
But I can’t pay down what we had
Every month hits like a cruel déjà vu
Landlord don’t care, but my chest sure do
If missing you was a bill I could clear
I’d be debt-free by now, my dear
But the past keeps calling—right on cue
Yeah, my heart’s got rent due
