[Verse 1]
You said my name like truth
Then left me in the rain
Your hands were full of sweet
Your mouth was full of blame
I kept the little notes
You kept the big goodbye
I read the signs too late
You watched me learn to die
[Pre-Chorus]
And I was holding on
To crumbs you never gave
You built a house of “soon”
On top of my grave
[Chorus]
Broken promises
You said it first
Broken promises
That kind of hurt
I kept on falling
You kept on running
Broken promises
And I’m still stunned
[Verse 2]
Your halo cracked in half
The night you looked away
I saw the smoke behind
Each pretty word you’d say
The phone kept lighting up
With lies in velvet clothes
You wore me like a dream
Then dropped me where it froze
[Pre-Chorus]
And I was holding on
To crumbs you never gave
You built a house of “soon”
On top of my grave
[Chorus]
Broken promises
You said it first
Broken promises
That kind of hurt
I kept on falling
You kept on running
Broken promises
And I’m still stunned
[Bridge]
Don’t call me in the dark
Don’t ask me to believe
I loved the version you
Could never be with me
One last apology
Won’t stitch up what you tore
I’m breathing through the ache
But I don’t wait anymore
[Final Chorus]
Broken promises
You said it first
Broken promises
That kind of hurt
I kept on falling
You kept on running
Broken promises
And I’m still here
