No Promises

Would you be lying

If you said I made you feel free?

Would you be willing 

To do anything for me?



Cause I can’t say the same for you 

Not after what you put me through


They say you shouldn’t make promises that you can’t keep 

Well it’s that phrase that’s been bothering me for weeks

Why say anything when there’s no guarantee 

That when I wake up there’ll be anyone there but me


I often wonder if you’ll ever feel how I did
In that summer, endless bummer, nothing more than a stupid kid

It was late July when I felt like dying

Driving home from Franklin, dreading the next weekend

I should have seen this is how it would end.
You wanted a second chance

A second glance at what I'd been through

Now I’m the one who feels bad
For not being all there with you


They say you shouldn’t make promises that you can’t keep 

Well it’s that phrase that’s been bothering me for weeks 

Why say anything when there’s nothing that you can do

And when you wake up I might not even be there with you


I might not be with you 


She asked me not to hurt her the way that she hurt me

But all that I could muster was a weak “no promises”
