Midnight Promises

Verse 1

Met you on a backroad, middle of July

Windows down, lies hanging in the air like smoke in the sky

You said you weren’t ready, I said “me neither” too

But I was already falling every time I ran to you

Pre-Chorus

You’d hold my hand like you meant to stay

Then leave me guessing come the light of day

Chorus

You were sweet like trouble, strong like whiskey

Said you didn’t want me, but you’d still miss me

Kept me hanging on with half-truths and kisses

Called it freedom, but it felt like prison

I loved you honest, you loved me loose

That’s the kind of heartbreak you can’t undo

Verse 2

Your name on my phone felt like a loaded gun

Every buzz another war I already lost and won

You’d say “don’t overthink it,” with that crooked grin

While I was breaking quietly just trying to fit in

Pre-Chorus

You liked me better when I didn’t ask

When I wore hope like a welcome mat

Chorus

You were sweet like trouble, strong like whiskey

Midnight promises that never stayed with me

You’d pull me close, then push me away

Like loving me was a game you didn’t wanna play

I gave you roots, you gave me blues

Now every love song sounds like you

Bridge

I learned the hard way, love ain’t meant to beg

If it’s real, it don’t leave you hanging by a thread

You can’t build a home in someone’s maybe

Can’t raise a heart on “come see me, baby”

Final Chorus

You were sweet like trouble, rough like rain

Left tire tracks on my yesterday

I won’t chase shadows or half-baked truth

Won’t drown my heart in your déjà vu

I’ll keep my fire, you keep your rules

I’m done loving someone scared to choose

Outro

So here’s to closure, dirt roads and truth

I’ll find a love that stays—

Not just passes through
