Promising Promises
[Verse 1]
I wake up cold and sweaty
Is it morning already?
I hate the sun for setting on yesterday
When I wrote my feelings on the walls and ceilings
Like drugs, I'm dealing, and you just walked away

[Pre-Chorus]
The trees all sway and swing
The wind and I are both singing

[Chorus]
I was giving you everything I had to give
Wasn't it enough?
All those promising promises were on your lips
But you wouldn't give them up

[Verse 2]
So let me just say for the record
That you can spare me the lecture
'Cause ever since I met you I've been lonely
Your smile, it don't hide you
I see the teeth that you lie through
Do I need to remind you that I'm only

[Pre-Chorus]
Hanging by a string
I close my eyes and spin, singing
[Chorus]
I was giving you everything I had to give
Wasn't it enough?
All those promising promises were on your lips
But you wouldn't give them up

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And I was giving you everything I had to give
Wasn't it enough?
And all those promising promises were on your lips
But you wouldn't give them up
And I was giving you everything I had to give
Wasn't it enough?
All those promising promises were on your lips
But you wouldn't give them up
