Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You better believe I'm coming
You better believe what I say
You better hold onto your promises
Because you bet you'll get what you deserve
[Verse 2]
She's going to leave him over
She's gonna take her love away
So much for your eternal vows
Well, it does not matter anyway
[PreChorus]
Why can't you stay here awhile?
Stay here awhile
Stay with me
[Chorus]
Oh, all the promises we made
Promises we made
All the meaningless and empty words I prayed, prayed, prayed
Oh, all the promises we broke
Promises we broke
All the meaningless and empty words I spoke, spoke, spoke
[PostChorus]
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
[Verse 3]
What of all the things that you've taught me?
What of all the things that you'd say?
What of all your prophetic preaching?
You're just throwing it all away
[Verse 4]
Maybe we should burn the house down
Have ourselves another fight
Leave the cobwebs in the closet
'Cause tearing them out is just not right
[PreChorus]
Why can't you stay here awhile?
Stay here awhile
Stay with me, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Oh, all the promises we made
Promises we made
All the meaningless and empty words I prayed, prayed, prayed
Oh, all the promises we broke
Promises we broke
All the meaningless and empty words I spoke, spoke, spoke
[PostChorus]
Whoa, whoa, whoa
[Chorus]
Oh, all the promises we made
Promises we made
All the meaningless and empty words I prayed, prayed, prayed
Oh, all the promises we broke
Promises we broke
All the meaningless and empty words I spoke, spoke, spoke
[Outro]
Oh-eh, oh-eh, oh-eh, oh-eh, oh, eh
Oh-eh, oh-eh, oh-eh, oh-eh, oh, eh
Oh-eh, oh-eh, oh-eh, oh-eh, oh, eh
Oh-eh, oh-eh, ah
[Outro]
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
