Intro:

Promise to not make promises
Promise to keep my distance
Promise to learn what honest it
Promise that I won’t listen


Verse 1:

Do you believe in me? Cuz I believe in you
Believe that you know how to turn the skies blue
Rid me of my demons for a two hour period
Rid me of tequila when I’m manic and delirious
Rid me of the fate of being gone before I’m fifty
‘Fore I’m 40, fore I’m 30, I could kill me if I’m tipsy
Do you believe in me? Cuz I believe in you
And believing in me’s something that I can’t do


Chorus:

Promise to not make promises
Promise to keep my distance
Promise to learn what honest it
Promise that I won’t listen
To that voice inside my head
That still dead set on showing me heaven
Oh, I’m better now
Do you believe I’m better yet?
I promise

Verse 2:

Excuses were redundant
Affirmation became saccharine
Recently, you summed it
How I spoke of you was acrid
Do you understand that I understand
I’m another man, being more, I can’t
I’m at my height
Am I convincing? The perfect facade
On God, if he believes it, I believe it- I’m lost
I need codependent validation for my life’s path
Least then, I’ll have the confidence to not look back
Fucking ennui, all the blame is on me
Wanted you to want me, wanted you to call me
Just to text me, gimme a sign we’re still besties
Next week followed to the next week followed to the next
For you, I have nothing but respect
Honestly, I hope you’re at your best
And I’m man enough to say this shit with my entire fucking chest:
I miss you and without you, I’m less


Chorus:
Promise to not make promises
Promise to keep my distance
Promise to learn what honest it
Promise that I won’t listen
To that voice inside my head
That still dead set on showing me heaven
Oh, I’m better now
Do you believe I’m better yet?
I promise


Outro:

Promise to not make promises
Promise to keep my distance
Promise to learn what honest it
Promise that I won’t listen
