Promises lyrics

Intro:

Promise to not make promises
Promise to keep my distance
Promise to learn what honest it
Promise that I won’t listen


Verse 1:

Do you believe in me? Cuz I believe in you
Believe that you know how to turn the skies blue
Rid me of my demons for a two hour period
Rid me of tequila when I’m manic and delirious
Rid me of the fate of being gone before I’m fifty
‘Fore I’m 40, fore I’m 30, I could kill me if I’m tipsy
Do you believe in me? Cuz I believe in you
And believing in me’s something that I can’t do


Chorus:

Promise to not make promises
Promise to keep my distance
Promise to learn what honest it
Promise that I won’t listen
To that voice inside my head
That still dead set on showing me heaven
Oh, I’m better now
Do you believe I’m better yet?
I promise

Verse 2:

Excuses were redundant
Affirmation became saccharine
Recently, you summed it
How I spoke of you was acrid
Do you understand that I understand
I’m another man, being more, I can’t
I’m at my height
Am I convincing? The perfect facade
On God, if he believes it, I believe it- I’m lost
I need codependent validation for my life’s path
Least then, I’ll have the confidence to not look back
f*cking ennui, all the blame is on me
Wanted you to want me, wanted you to call me
Just to text me, gimme a sign we’re still besties
Next week followed to the next week followed to the next
For you, I have nothing but respect
Honestly, I hope you’re at your best
And I’m man enough to say this sh*t with my entire f*cking chest:
I miss you and without you, I’m less


Chorus:
Promise to not make promises
Promise to keep my distance
Promise to learn what honest it
Promise that I won’t listen
To that voice inside my head
That still dead set on showing me heaven
Oh, I’m better now
Do you believe I’m better yet?
I promise


Outro:

Promise to not make promises
Promise to keep my distance
Promise to learn what honest it
Promise that I won’t listen
