Intro:
(soft instrumental)
Verse 1:
It only got harder, I swear to you
Everything I was doing wasn't to hurt you
Sitting on the couch, pulling out my hairs
Wondering when things will change, feeling like it's all in vain
Day after day, asking myself
How much more do I need to change?
I did everything I could, all that I knew how to do
But the arguments never ended well, our hearts pulling us closer
Yet our minds drifting apart, beyond our reach
It was never supposed to be this way
I tried to hold on, but couldn't stay
Chorus:
Those promises
You had me living out promises
Those promises
Were they ever real to you?
It only got harder, I swear to you
Those promises you made
Had me waiting, standing still
Those promises were never real anyway
Verse 2:
Got us the house we both wanted, dreams shattered in the end
The love we once had, couldn't withstand the pain
Why didn't you just walk away?
Instead, chose to stay, repeating the same mistakes
I just don't understand, what more can I do?
To make you see, I don't want you here, I can't go through it all again
It's hard enough for me now, I can't stay
Chorus:
Those promises
You had me living out promises
Those promises
Were they ever real to you?
It only got harder, I swear to you
Those promises you made
Had me waiting, standing still
Those promises were never real anyway
Bridge:
(Instrumental break)
Chorus:
Those promises
You had me living out promises
Those promises
Were they ever real to you?
It only got harder, I swear to you
Those promises you made
Had me waiting, standing still
Those promises were never real anyway
Outro:
