Half a Slice
Style: Acoustic soul

[Verse 1]
You left me half the sponge cake
sitting on a soft wet plate
said you weren't that hungry anyway
but I saw how long you waited

[Pre-chorus]
It's never the big things you offer
always some small, folded gift
and I keep learning how to notice

[Chorus]
Juniper, you give like it's nothing
quiet as a hand on my back
I never have to ask you twice
you just know what love should look like

[Verse 2]
Cardboard going soft in your hands
icing melting into the tear
you didn't mind the mess of it
you just wanted me to have my share

[Chorus]
Juniper, you give like it's nothing
quiet as a hand on my back
I never have to ask you twice
you just know what love should look like

[Bridge]
I could live on small things like this
the plate, the fork, the waiting
the way you make sure I'm eating
before you think of your own hunger

[Chorus]
Juniper, you give like it's nothing
quiet as a hand on my back
I never have to ask you twice
you just know what love should look like

[Outro]
Somewhere there's a plate gone soft
still holding half of what you gave
