I Promise

It's funny how, as I get the older

The less and less I want

Maybe a hand on my shoulder

Or a promise tied tighter than a knot

I'm getting good at keeping my composure

When I know I shouldn't be

But I think I'm at the point where

The less and less I want to see

Easier imagined than guaranteed

Wish you could take it all back

Say you don't mean it anymore

'Cause I can't bear it, I can't take it like before

I say I'm sorry, but I don't mean it anymore

'Cause I'm as stepped on as the sidewalks and the floors

I was standing right behind

You said my name, but I heard it too

Called me early on that Tuesday

Said I could never say a bad thing about you

But I know you, I know that's not true

Wish you could take it all back

Say you don't mean it anymore

'Cause I can't bear it, I can't take it like before

I say I'm sorry, but I don't mean it anymore

'Cause I'm as stepped on as the sidewalks and the floor

Can you tell me the truth? I'm getting nauseous

I've got this pit in my stomach just be honest

What did I do to deserve this? I'm so exhausted

I'm giving up on you I promise
