Promises

On a summer night

As you pull me closer

Baby

Please don't cry

Isn't this what you had hoped for

Sorry to say that we can't just go back

Pretend like you tried

And We'll leave it at that

Wouldn't you hate to admit that you did this to yourself

And you're throwing away happiness with both hands

Just blame it on miles

But you knew all the while

Don't tell me that it's better off this way

And you started to say the words you run to so quickly

Can you make me believe that I shouldn't leave

These lights reveal your face so differently

So make promises that we both know you won't keep

Leave it to me to believe in your eyes

I'm calling you out on your only regret

More like regret is calling you

My dear in the headlights so cold and alone

And you're throwing away happiness with both hands

Just blame it on miles

But you knew all the while

Don't tell me that it's better off this way

And you started to say the words you run to so quickly

Can you make me believe that I shouldn't leave

These lights reveal your face so differently

And she whispers in my ear

Promise me when you're not here

Promise to never let me go

And you're throwing away happiness with both hands

Just blame it on miles

But you knew all the while

Don't tell me that it's better off this way

And you started to say the words you run to so quickly

Can you make me believe that I shouldn't leave

These lights reveal your face so differently

On a summer night

As you pull me closer

Baby

Please don't cry

Isn't this what you had hoped for
