Promise

I told a lot of lies
And called it a compromise
To keep you in your seat
I was so afraid to lose
But the things that I did to you
You would never do to me

Why do I?
Why do I do it?
Why do I do it?
You wanna hold my hand
I make a fist
A false promise

And even if you said you would forgive me
I don't know if I could ever say I'm sorry

I don't know if I
(You said you would)
I don't know if I can
I don't know if I
(You said you would)
I don't know if I can

So, i look at you now
Bruised and broken down
By what you thought was love
You tell me you want to stay
And you wanna watch me change
But I'm scared, so, I tell you to fuck off

Why do I?
Why do I do it?
Why do I do it?
You wanna hold my hand
I make a fist
A false promise

And even if you said you would forgive me
I don't know if I could ever say I'm sorry

I don't know if I
(You said you would)
I don't know if I can
I don't know if I
(You said you would)
I don't know if I can

Mean hearted girls will kill their loves to hurt themselves
They can't believe that they deserve anything else
And even if you said you know that I'm sorry
I don't know if I could ever forgive me

I don't know if I
(You said you would)
I don't know if I can
I don't know if I
(You said you would)
I don't know if I can

I don't know if I
(You said you would)
I don't know if I can
I don't know if I
(You said you would)
I don't know if I can

I told a lot of lies
And called it a compromise
To keep you
(You said you would)
