"Promises" lyrics

You wanna drive? Go take the keys
Can't sit around in this make believe
This night might end unhappily
There was a time I thought it could be

Somebody stays, somebody leaves
That bitter pill needs swallowing
Bottom lip between your teeth
Somebody else where I should be

Promises, empty like the bed you sleep in
Broken like the spell you're keeping
Promises we can't believe in

Promises, empty like the bed you sleep in
Broken like the spell you're keeping
Promises we can't believe in
Why we even try to keep them?

Objects are closer than they appear
Growing in my eyes as fast as my fears
Both my feet have fallen asleep
Head to the dash in the passenger's seat

I've been struck by your words like a train
Hit with the way you left like rain hits the window-pane
Not a drop at a time, but all at once

Promises, empty like the bed you sleep in
Broken like the spell you're keeping
Promises we can't believe in

Promises, empty like the bed you sleep in
Broken like the spell you're keeping
Promises we can't believe in
Why we even try to keep them?

Promises
Broken like the spell you're keeping
Promises we can't believe in

Promises, empty like the bed you sleep in
Broken like the spell you're keeping
Promises we can't believe in

Believe in
Believe in
Believe in
Believe in
