Lyrics

[Chorus]
Please don't make promises that you can't keep
Your best intentions end up hurtin' me
No matter what, I'll love you endlessly
I know we're blood, but this love is bad for me
[Verse 1]
I can't tell you what I wanna say
'Cause I, I'm afraid that you won't change
Sometimes, I just wanna scream in your face
But when you're in pain, I just walk away
[PreChorus]
And my, my therapist told me to write you a letter, mmm
She said if I did, it would make me feel better
But it wouldn't do shit even if I sent it
'Cause you won't get it, you're too damn selfish, mmm
[Chorus]
Please don't make promises that you can't keep
Your best intentions end up hurtin' me
No matter what, I'll love you endlessly
But I gotta run, I gotta run from your reality
I know we're blood, but this love is bad for me
[Verse 2]
Damn, it's hard for me to let go
Of someone I held so close, mmm
Damn, it's hard for me to draw that line
And leave you on the other side
[PreChorus]
But my, my therapist told me to write you a letter, mmm
She said if I did, it would make me feel better, oh
But it wouldn't do shit even if I sent it
'Cause you won't get it, you're too damn selfish, oh
[Chorus]
Please don't make promises that you can't keep
Your best intentions end up hurtin' me
No matter what, I'll love you endlessly
But I gotta run, I gotta run from your reality
I know we're blood, but this love is bad for me
[Bridge]
And when you lie
And when you lie
There's a part of you that dies
That I'm left with
I'm left with
It gets hectic
It gets hectic
When you lie
And when you lie
I wonder why I try
But you can't help it, you're too damn selfish, mmm
[Chorus]
Please don't make promises that you can't keep
'Cause your best intentions end up hurtin' me
No matter what, I'll love you endlessly
But I gotta run, I gotta run from your reality
I know we're blood, but this love is bad for me
[Outro]
I know we're blood, but this love is bad for me
