Burnt Omelet Blues"
(slow, minor key, spoken-sing style)
(Verse 1)
Cracked two eggs on a Tuesday
You used to crack them for me
Now the kitchen feels different
And the salt's lost at sea
(Verse 2)
I sliced a Roma tomato
Red like the dress that you wore
The one you left on the bedroom floor
Before you walked out that door
(Chorus)
Now I'm making a tomato omelet
For one, in a two-egg shell
I burned the bottom, I flipped too late
Guess I don't cook so well
(Verse 3)
The butter popped like a warning
The pan got way too hot
I forgot to whisk in the memories
Now the pieces are all I've got
(Bridge)
Basil's wilted on the counter
You said "low heat, be kind"
But I rushed like I rushed our goodbye
And left the best parts behind
(Chorus)
Yeah, I'm making a tomato omelet
For one, on a broken plate
The tomatoes cried little red tears
And I'm already too late
(Outro - spoken softly)
I used to fold you in half… gently.
Now everything just… sticks.
