Chicken Chow Mein Blues

[Verse 1] I opened that box and lost my nerve Steam in the air but nothing I deserved The fork sat still like it knew the truth One sweet bite away from the end of my youth [Pre-Chorus] You left, and the room went cold My appetite folded slow I tried to laugh it off But I couldn't let it go [Chorus] My heartbreak put me off my chicken chow mein Now my dinner is just a plate of pain My heartbreak put me off my chicken chow mein Now my dinner is just a plate of pain (plate of pain) (plate of pain) [Verse 2] The onions went soft the noodles ran by I stared at the bowl and nearly said goodbye This day is bittersweet Weren’t ready to die 'Cause every little bite tastes like you and I [Pre-Chorus] You left, and the room went cold My appetite folded slow I tried to laugh it off But I couldn't let it go [Chorus] My heartbreak put me off my chicken chow mein Now my dinner is just a plate of pain My heartbreak put me off my chicken chow mein Now my dinner is just a plate of pain (plate of pain) (plate of pain) [Bridge] Maybe tomorrow I'll make it through Add a little soy sauce And something new But tonight I’m stuck with an empty grin 'Cause your goodbye won't let me eat again [Final Chorus] My heartbreak put me off my chicken chow mein Now my dinner is just a plate of pain My heartbreak put me off my chicken chow mein Now my dinner is just a plate of pain (plate of pain) (plate of pain)
