Intro:

I’m trying so hard not to break these promises
With every chance I get
It’s right here in my head

Verse 1:

I’ve been trying not to break these promises
But lately i’ve been doing all the opposite
I know that it is where my biggest problem is
But all my runs with promises have never ended positive

I have been let down every single fucking time
Nothing’s ever changed, I am still receiving lies
You went and got my hopes up then you left me with pain
Cuz that’s all you feel when you know things will never be the same

Built me up then broke me down, took my soul and ripped it out
You gained my trust and killed my doubts, made me think you’d hold me down
Then you flipped right inside out, your true colors showing now
I should’ve never trusted you, and, oh, I fucking know it now

Why the hell’d I do what I did, chose your side and didn’t hide it
Made a choice that I decided, then I fucking stood behind it
Then you showed that you’re conniving, a pathological liar
Felt like I was missing something and used you to try and find it

Verse 2:
I can’t act perfect man, i’ve broken commitments
My mind flipped its switches in a blink and an instant
But me and everybody else have one little difference
I’d do anything within my power to fix it

I’d do anything I can just so I could make it right
Dousing everything in water that a flame may ignite
I refuse to lose respect and any faith i’ve gained in you
Cuz who the who the hell would I be if I spent my time degrading you

Or even worse degrading me, cuz I wouldn’t look the same to me
I would hate myself which is worse than if you’re hating me
I could never deal with that, it’d spend my whole life chasing me
And I’d be freaking out, wondering what fate is awaiting me

I’ve spent my life burning bridges, hurting people, earning stitches
Blaming it on blurred out vision, calling out you hurtful bitches
Blaming y’all for all my problems, all my falls, and all losses
I’m to blame as well but every effect has it causes
