"Empty Promises" lyrics

"Empty Promises"

Hold your breath for me, and asphyxiate
As we melt into the seat, of my old accord
Down Crawford road, where the world didn't know
That for six months I dreaded the afterglow
And I even discarded the book you wrote
Cause I'm too weak to face the truth

And I'm out here looking for
And I'm out here looking for some

Closure, though the years have left us colder
I still remember sitting in that parking space
As you threw it in my face
This is where it all comes out
Here's where my world comes crashing down

I wish you'd bled maroon and gold when they called out my name
Just know those pictures her phone aren't who I am today
Moved up north and left this shallow town
Crashed my car and you came around
But I miss long drives, and late nights passed out on your couch

And I'm out here looking for some

Closure, though the years have left us colder
I still remember sitting in that parking space
As you threw it in my face
This is where it all comes out
Here's where my world comes crashing down

I swear to God this isn't blasphemy
That Sunday afternoon's the last time l felt anything
Left your heart in my hands, gave you empty promises
Cause I was just a selfish fuck who filled his fix and betrayed your trust, fuck

I'm still just looking for some
Closure, though the years have left us colder
I still remember sitting in that parking space
As you threw it in my face
This is where it all comes out
Here's where my world comes crashing
