You Promised by Brantley Gilbert
You Promised lyrics
She was cryin' out my name
Standin' in the driveway
Little bare feet, wearin' her cotton dress, in my way.
I still see the rain chasing tears down her face
It was back in October when I said it�s over and hid
Behind the door
Behind the shame of my conviction
Beside myself
Beside some empty pill prescription
I Can hear her screamin� now
No baby don�t, you making my heart hurt
Don�t say those words
Take it back
You know you don�t mean that
And you swore when I wore your ring
It meant forever
I�ve got it on baby
How can you say I lost it
Oh, you promised
Started crying while I was sleepin'
Waking up and reaching out
To a bed as empty as the heart inside my chest
So I gathered up some pictures
Said I had some things to give her
I let her read a letter
I had written her to give her on the day we tied the knot
I saw the tears
I saw them fall as she read the part about growing old
I heard her words
I heard her say it�ll never work
And hit my knees and cried
No baby don�t you�re making my heart hurt
Don�t say those words
Take it back
You know you don�t mean that.
And you swore when you wore my ring
It meant forever
You�ve got it on baby
How can you say you lost it
Yeah and you promised
We were different people then
Look at all the hateful things we�ve said
And I�m just as guilty
But girl that�s no way to be, Yeah
Take it easy baby I�m still broken
Memories enough to tear me wide open
When you see me girl you curse my name
Makes me wanna say
No, no baby don�t
You�re making my heart hurt
Don�t say those words
Take it back
You know you don�t mean that
And you know when you wore my ring
We said forever
But you took it off baby
Safe to say we�re through
No matter what you do you know I�ll always love you,
Well I have to
�Cause I promised
