Promises.

Crazy ex-significant others, booze, cigarettes, you name it — you know it's bad for you but that doesn't make you stop. 'Cause next time, you'll get it right and things will work out perfectly.

 

VERSE1: Well I remember when we first met
Way back when everything seemed so shiny and new
It was an instant bond, and we were never apart
And as I took you in I felt renewed

BUILD1: But slowly I began to change
Became the person you wanted me to
And now I’m not so sure if I like what I’ve become
I know I gotta get away and not believe it you when you say

CHORUS: (I promise you) Things will be different next time
(I promise you) Just give me one more try
(I promise you) This time I won’t hurt you, baby
I promise you and why would I lie

VERSE2: I’ve known for years that the thrill is gone
No matter how much I use you trying to get it back
And I can’t let you go, no matter how I try
There’s no stopping us now, there’s no cutting back

BUILD2: But when we start it all over again
I know how this story’s gonna end
It starts out good, but always turns out bad
I know I gotta get away and not believe it you when you say

CHORUS

BRIDGE: I feel half dead without you
But you’ll kill me if I don’t get away

VERSE3: So now it’s been some years and years
Since we were together and for that I’m glad
I’m getting better now trying to live without you
But I still look back on what we had

BUILD3: And if I think we could just one more time
I’ve got my scars to help remind me
That’s not a good idea, and why I let you go
I know I gotta keep away and not believe it you when you say

CHORUS
