My Tongue Remembers You

[Verse 1]
There’s a tremor when I talk too soft,
Like your name still sleeps between my teeth.
Every syllable’s a bruise half-healed,
Every vow’s got your heat underneath.

Your kiss rewrote my alphabet,
Now every word hums wrong.
I bite my lip to keep you in,
But you hum through every song.


---

[Pre-Chorus]
The mirror don’t forgive my mouth,
It moves the way you taught it to.
I chase clean air, but it breaks in smoke —
‘Cause even silence sounds like you.


---

[Chorus]
My tongue remembers you,
Even when my lips don’t move.
Every word I try to say
Still tastes of you.
My mouth can’t keep you gone,
You bloom behind each truth.
I don’t need to speak your name —
My tongue remembers you.


---

[Verse 2]
There’s mercy in the way I lie,
Pretending I forgot the taste.
But my voice cracks on goodbye,
Like it’s still touching your face.

I sip my wine too slow tonight,
Just to see if you return.
And darling, every drop I fake —
Still burns the way you burned.


---

[Pre-Chorus]
The mirror don’t forgive my mouth,
It moves the way you taught it to.
I breathe new words but swallow ghosts —
‘Cause every truth still leads to you.


---

[Chorus]
My tongue remembers you,
Even when my lips don’t move.
Every word I try to say
Still tastes of you.
My mouth can’t keep you gone,
You bloom behind each truth.
I don’t need to speak your name —
My tongue remembers you.


---

[Bridge]
Maybe you’re the prayer I never meant,
A hymn I hum beneath my breath.
I wash my mouth with holy lies,
But you stain the vowels to death.


---

[Outro]
Now silence feels like something sweet,
A sin I can’t undo.
The night leans close — I mouth your ghost,
And my tongue remembers you.
