VERSE 1
You’d said you promised
That you were gonna try and make it work out.
Now why you run excuses in a roundabout way?
I’m saying, it was never meant to be, but that’s okay.
Just give it to me straight.

CHORUS
I would rather
Hear you say
You’re giving me empty promises.
Because you show your love that way.
And no, there’s nothing wrong with it.
I would just like one day
For your lies not to hurt me.

VERSE 2
Dissapointments, 
I can’t take. They’re promises only half made, 
So they can’t break. It’s excitement that just ends in heartache.
You say “Okay,” but you’re only being fake. Exit strategy.
Next time, say “No” to my face.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Quit “promising” me some extravagant thing
To try and compensate
For lying to me, making my heart bleed
From each new disappointment I can’t take.

CHORUS
