The Promise

Started to like myself better

The longer I was with you

I grew as strong as the storms we’d weather

Forgot that I was born blue

When we were riding the waves and you said I was safe, did you mean it?

'Cause now you're pulling away, as I drown in the wake of your leaving

Of your leaving

I handed over my heart

Thought I could let down my guard

Maybe that makes me a fool

Now you say

I’ll find the one that I need

That’s fucking hard to believe

When all I needed was you

And you swore blind

Your blood on mine

You’d stay with me

I know you tried

But I’m the promise you couldn't keep

I put my weight on your shoulders

I never let anybody closer

You're building a wall, don't you care anymore?

I'm in pieces

And now you stand at the door saying, I'm not the 'cause of you leaving

But you’re leaving

I handed over my heart

Thought I could let down my guard

Maybe that makes me a fool

Now you say

I’ll find the one that I need

That’s fucking hard to believe

When all I needed was you

And you swore blind

Your blood on mine

You’d stay with me

I know you tried

But I’m the promise you couldn't keep

If I was sure about you

Then maybe nothing is true

Now, I don't even think we really put a man on the moon

There’ll be no summer in June

And I’ll just go back to blue

Believing everyone will leave me in the end because

You swore blind

Your blood on mine

You’d stay with me

I know you tried

But I’m the promise you couldn't keep
