Dew Ledoux - Receipts Were Kept Lyrics

She said, "You're lucky to have me,"
With that grin so sly,
But I filed it away, tucked it real deep,
With all those moments you let fly.
From "I told you so" to "You'll see in time,"
Turns out love's on credit, and you missed the sign.

Receipts were kept, and I'm showin' 'em now,
Every little slight, every broken vow.
You might think I'd forget, but I've got 'em prepped,
For all the blame you couldn't afford-receipts were kept.

She said, "It's your mess, not mine to clear,"
But somehow my hands found the broom right here.
"Who ate the last bite?" she'd accuse with a grin,
While swipin' the spoon when I wasn't in.
I saved every word, each glance and the frown,
Like unpaid tabs that keep hangin' around.

Receipts were kept, and I'm showin' 'em now,
Every little slight, every broken vow.
You might think I'd forget, but I've got 'em prepped,
For all the blame you couldn't afford-receipts were kept.

I ain't sayin' I'm perfect, I've had my share,
But girl, you've been stackin' up like there's points to spare.
So now it's time, I'm checkin' this stack,
Let's see what's been lost, and what won't come back.

You say, "Can we let it go?" with tears in your eyes,
But darlin', we both know the well's run dry.
Here's the final total, no bonus or grace,
Just the cost of love, and I'm leavin' this place.

Receipts were kept, and I'm showin' 'em now,
Every little slight, every broken vow.
You might think I'd forget, but I've got 'em prepped,
For all the blame you couldn't afford-receipts were kept.
