You promised me a new dress You gave me that dress You promised me a cookie You got me the cookie You promised to take me to the park You got around to it You promised I could visit again soon And I did the next year You promised me there was a Santa Clause And you tried to keep me believing You promised me High School would be fun Yeah that’s bull You promised me you’d never let anyone hurt me Yet I still got into fights You promised you’d stay healthy You lied You promised me you’d live forever And despite everything You still died

You Promised
You promised me a new dress You gave me that dress You promised me a cookie You got me the cookie You promised to take me to the park You got around to it You promised I could visit again soon And I did the next year You promised me there was a Santa Clause And you tried to keep me believing You promised me High School would be fun Yeah that’s bull You promised me you’d never let anyone hurt me Yet I still got into fights You promised you’d stay healthy You lied You promised me you’d live forever And despite everything You still died
Promises so easily made and so easily broken
