Promising Madelline Lyrics
I picked up after the second ring
my parents probably never
heard a thing
I asked you how your evening went
and let you change the subject
you said he passed out an hour ago
made subtle mention of a
bloody nose
then a foreign voice said
we weren't alone
and I heard it all when
you dropped the phone
it's all happening again
all I want to do
is make it end
but you made me swear to you
nobody would ever know the truth
and it seemed on every next day
I could only wipe the tears away
and listen as I held you tight
recount the horrors of
the previous night
I could never
understand the pain
never understood why you
felt ashamed
over things you could never control
the pain in your eyes
is all I know
I just wanted
to take you away
because I swear there's
a better life
swear to you there's
a better life
my parents probably never
heard a thing
I asked you how your evening went
and let you change the subject
you said he passed out an hour ago
made subtle mention of a
bloody nose
then a foreign voice said
we weren't alone
and I heard it all when
you dropped the phone
all I want to do
is make it end
but you made me swear to you
nobody would ever know the truth
I could only wipe the tears away
and listen as I held you tight
recount the horrors of
the previous night
understand the pain
never understood why you
felt ashamed
over things you could never control
the pain in your eyes
is all I know
to take you away
a better life
swear to you there's
a better life
