No promises

Boy, don’t look at me like that,

You know exactly what I’m doin’.

Say you’re leaving? Yeah, right —

You’ll follow me like you always do in.

I don’t need vows, don’t need rings,

I already own your heartbeat.

One look and your whole spine melts —

Shouldn’t stand that close to me.

You say “Lyra, behave” (mmh, sure),

Baby, you’re adorable when you lie.

You swear you’re in control —

Oh gods, you really try.

No promises,

‘Cause I get whatever I want anyway.

No promises,

I take your breath, and you say “take more away.”

You tell me “no,”

But darling, we both know you’ll break first.

No promises —

But I promise I’ll make you beg,

And you’ll love it.

Say I’m demanding — sweet thing,

You still grab my waist when I walk past.

Tell me I’m trouble — mmh, I know,

But you fall harder every time I laugh.

I don’t do rules,

But you follow mine anyway.

You say I’m chaos —

But you wanna drown in my hurricane.

No promises,

Except that you’re mine every single night.

No promises —

But baby, when I kiss you, you don’t even fight.

You look at me

Like I’m the only damn thing in your universe.

No promises —

But I promise I’ll make you forget

Why “no” was said first.
