Knife in the Promise

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, I saw it You know what you promised [Verse 1] You said my name with your hand in mine Swore that kiss would be yours and mine Then I caught you pressed up with another dude Now every pretty promise tastes untrue I was waiting by the corner after work You were giving him the version that used to hurt Don't call me baby, don't pretend you're confused You made your choice, now I'm cutting you loose [Pre-Chorus] You wanted my trust, then you traded it cheap Now the words that you gave me are yours to keep [Chorus] You said you'd kiss me, then you kissed him instead Put a knife in the promise hanging over my head I don't want your sorry, I don't want your excuse You played me for a fool, now I'm done with you Yeah, you're done with me too [Verse 2] I saw your lipstick fading off his mouth Same little smile you used when we made plans You had me thinking we were something real While you were giving him the rush I used to feel Don't send a paragraph dressed up as regret I know the difference between love and a bet You wanted attention, I wanted the truth Now I got both, and I'm walking from you [Bridge] Keep the memories, keep the lies Keep that promise you buried alive If he asks what happened, tell him what you do You break a heart, then act brand new [Chorus] You said you'd kiss me, then you kissed him instead Put a knife in the promise hanging over my head I don't want your sorry, I don't want your excuse You played me for a fool, now I'm done with you Yeah, you're done with me too [Outro] I saw it clearly No more maybe, no more waiting You promised me a kiss Now you can keep your goodbye
