"Promise?" lyrics

Da-da, da-da-da-da

Think I'd let you ruin me forever
Laughing like a child with your crooked grin
I'd tell you how I feel if I was clever
And my interest all consist of, if you, if you're, if you're interested

I should probably just leave it alone
'Cause I know that we're supposed to be friends
We're friends, we're friends, we're friends, but

Oh, I want you, but, I'll never tell you
'Cause if I tell you, you could say I'm not the one
You want, and I, I couldn't handle that
So if I tell you, then promise me I can take it back
Oh, can you promise that?
Oh, can you promise that?

Do you know what it's like to feel this fucking shy?
Let me paint a picture for you, your voice keeps me up at night
Do you know how it feels, pretend it's no big deal?
When I'm looking up at you I make you laugh, and, oh, God, it feels like

You only left about a minute ago
But I already need to see you again
Again, again, again, like

Oh, I want you, but, I'll never tell you
'Cause if I tell you, you could say I'm not the one
You want, and I, I couldn't handle that
So if I tell you, then promise me I can take it back
Oh, can you promise that?
Oh, can you promise that?
Yeah, if I tell you, you promise me I can take it back
Can you promise that?

Wish I could tell you, I think about you all the time
I like your hair, I like the way it's in your stupid eyes
Wish I could tell you, you're with me everywhere I go
You're in the way, you're in my drink, you're in my cortisol
Wish I could tell you, I think about you all the time
I'm scared to death that I'll be wishing for you for the rest of my life
I want you, I'll never tell you

'Cause if I tell you, you could say I'm not the one
You want, and I, I couldn't handle that
So if I tell you, then promise me I can take it back
Oh, I want you, but, I'll never tell you
'Cause if I tell you, you could say I'm not the one
You want, and I, I couldn't handle that
So if I tell you, then promise me I can take it back
Oh, can you promise that?
Oh, can you promise that?
