Promise

Don't call it a promise
If you're just gonna break it
Don't tell me you love it
When I know that you hate it
Don't say that it's obvious
If you gotta explain it
This home don't feel like home
But I just can't leave you here alone
I regret the things I said in that parking lot
The words we spoke in minutes drove us miles apart
I wish that I went easier on you
But
You said you don't need me coming back 'round anymore
You know that I can't leave without a sign that you're sure
Don't you remember those old jeans that piled up on your floor?
And I never got to say it back then, but can I even say it anymore?
Don't call it a promise
If you're just gonna break it
Don't tell me you love it
When I know that you hate it
Don't say that it's obvious
If I gotta explain it
This home don't feel like home
But I just can't leave you here alone
Promise me you'll give it one night more
You say it's something that you can't fight for
Everything in the last few years
Don't you think that we could survive more?
All this time that we're wasting
For this high that we're chasing
You didn't believe me when I told ya
I'd rather go through this than never know ya
Can't keep a chip still on our shoulders
'Cause we are only getting older
Went from pulling on my sleeve to being halfway out the door
And I never got to say it back then, but can I even say it anymore?
Don't call it a promise
If you're just gonna break it
Don't tell me you love it
When I know that you hate it
Don't say that it's obvious
If you gotta explain it
This home don't feel like home
But I just can't leave you here alone
One night, give it one night, give it one night
Give it one night more
