[Verse 1] You left your ring on the sink Beside a bruised-up pear I was peeling one last orange When you said you didn’t care The house kept all its secrets In the beans by the stove I watched your denim jacket Hit the chair and then you go [Pre-Chorus] Now the apples on the counter Turn soft in the heat And the cabbage in the crisper Feels more loyal than me I heard your truck tail out Like thunder through the lane And every yellow banana Looked away from the rain [Chorus] Split peaches on my plate Taste the hurt, taste the ache You were sweet, then you were gone Now my heart won’t hold on Split peaches on my plate Let them bruise, let them break I was ripe, I was ready Now I’m cutting out the heavy (split peaches) [Verse 2] You said I was too much fire Too much salt in the stew But you drank up every drop of me Then called me hard to lose There’s spinach in the garden Bent low under frost And I’m learning how to stand here Even after what I lost [Pre-Chorus] Now the pears all turn to powder In the blue of the bowl And the carrots in the dirt Still got something to hold You can take your empty promises And the keys you kept I’ll be whole as a melon Even after you left [Chorus] Split peaches on my plate Taste the hurt, taste the ache You were sweet, then you were gone Now my heart won’t hold on Split peaches on my plate Let them bruise, let them break I was ripe, I was ready Now I’m cutting out the heavy (split peaches) [Bridge] I don’t need your bitter ending Mixed up in my blood I can grow from broken seed I can bloom after the flood So keep your sour shadow Keep your half-told lies I’ve got lemon in my laughter And a storm in my eyes [Chorus] Split peaches on my plate Taste the hurt, taste the ache You were sweet, then you were gone Now my heart won’t hold on Split peaches on my plate Let them bruise, let them break I was ripe, I was ready Now I’m cutting out the heavy (split peaches)
