Promises


V1
After all we’ve been through
After all the shit I still forgave you
How many times, how many lies
Why can’t you look me in the eyes & tell the truth

What about the life we made
What about us now everything has changed—
No I don’t think so
I’m not gonna sit around and let you play me for a fool

We’ve been here before
But I don’t love you no more
Before I get emotional
I’mma take my shit I’m walking out the door

You make it impossible to stay
No I can’t look the other way (no no)
& it breaks my heart babe
I never thought we’d end this way

HOOK
Your promises don’t mean a thing
Even with a diamond ring
All the lies the times deceiving me
This is the end no more I’m leaving ya
Your promises don’t mean a thing
Even with a diamond ring
The damage is done
We can’t go back
We’re too far gone

V2
I can’t see right through you
I call bullshit—what you trying to prove
& oh how you’re so sorry now
Begging pleading thinking I’ll come back around

Things will never be the same
Time to step up and be a man
No you can’t bring me down—no
Not again
Imma shake it off and smile through the pain
We’ve been here before
But I don’t love you no more
Before I get emotional
I’mma take my shit I’m walking out the door

You make it impossible to stay
No I can’t look the other way (no no)
& it breaks my heart baby
I never thought we’d end this way

BREAK
From separations to breakups
Just how much more can I take 
I think it’s time you should wake up
I can’t believe you would break us
I never thought the day would come 
We’d say goodbye like strangers

We’ve been here before
But I don’t love you no more
Before I get emotional
I’mma take my shit I’m walking out the door

HOOK
Your promises don’t mean a thing
Even with a diamond ring
All the lies the times deceiving me
This is the end no more I’m leaving ya
Your promises don’t mean a thing
Even with a diamond ring
The damage is done
We can’t go back
We’re too far gone…gone
