You Promised |
| She was crying out my name |
| Standing in the driveway |
| Little bare feet wearing her cotton dress in my way |
| I still see the rain chasing tears down her face |
| It was back in October when I said it’s over and hid |
| Behind the door |
| Behind the shame of my conviction |
| Beside myself |
| Beside some empty pill prescription |
| Can hear her screamin' now |
| No baby don’t, you making my heart hurt |
| Don’t say those words |
| Take it back |
| You know you don’t mean that |
| You swore when I wore your ring |
| It meant forever |
| I’ve got it on baby |
| How can you say I lost it |
| Oh, you promised |
| Started crying while I was sleeping |
| Waking up and reaching out |
| To a bed as empty as the heart inside my chest |
| So I gathered up some pictures |
| Said I had some things to give her |
| I let her read a letter |
| I had written her to give her on the day we tied the knot |
| I saw the tears |
| I saw them fall as she read the part of my growing old |
| I heard her words |
| I heard her say it’ll never work |
| And hit my knees and cried |
| No baby don’t you’re making my heart hurt |
| Don’t say those words |
| Take it back |
| You know you don’t mean that |
| You swore when you wore my ring |
| It meant forever |
| You’ve got it on baby |
| How can you say you lost it |
| Yeah and you promised |
| We were different people then |
| Look at all the hateful things we’ve said |
| And I’m just as guilty |
| But girl that’s no way to be |
| Take it easy baby I’m still broken |
| Memories enough to tear me wide open |
| When you see me girl you curse my name |
| Makes me wanna say |
| No, no baby don’t |
| You’re making my heart hurt |
| Don’t say those words |
| Take it back |
| You know you don’t mean that |
| You know when you wore my ring |
| We said forever |
| But you took it off baby |
| Safe to say we’re through |
| No matter what you do |
| You know I’ll always love you |
| Well I have to |
| 'Cause I promised |
