Let’s add it to our list
of promises broken
Add it to our things
of well meant lies we’ve spoken

I’m here trying to believe
And you’re still speaking
You’re always the one to leave
With your promises breaking me

What is it I could say
Is there anything I could say
Maybe we can change
If one of us would stay

Or you can go to him
And promise me next time
And leave us with what if
Or maybe we could try
Like all our unforgiven times
We were afraid
All our broken lines
We didn’t say
Uninked tattoos await our skin
From our summers past
Take our promises out of sin
For our love at last

What is it I could say
Would you ever say
Maybe we can change
If one of us would stay

What is it we will say
Our promise we will say
This time we will change
This time we will say.
