Promises
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You wanna drive? Go take the keys
Can't sit around in this make believe
This night might end unhappily
There was a time I thought it could be
Somebody stays, somebody leaves
That bitter pill needs swallowing
Bottom lip between your teeth
Somebody else where I should be
Promises, empty like the bed you sleep in
Broken like the spell you're keeping
Promises we can't believe in
Promises, empty like the bed you sleep in
Broken like the spell you're keeping
Promises we can't believe in
Why we even try to keep them?
Objects are closer than they appear
Growing in my eyes as fast as my fears
Both my feet have fallen asleep
Head to the dash in the passenger's seat
I've been struck by your words like a train
Hit with the way you left like rain hits the window-pane
Not a drop at a time, but all at once
Promises, empty like the bed you sleep in
Broken like the spell you're keeping
Promises we can't believe in
Promises, empty like the bed you sleep in
Broken like the spell you're keeping
Promises we can't believe in
Why we even try to keep them?
Promises
Broken like the spell you're keeping
Promises we can't believe in
Promises, empty like the bed you sleep in
Broken like the spell you're keeping
Promises we can't believe in
Believe in
Believe in
Believe in
Believe in
