lyrics

Promises

The first thing on my mind, was the time before and what it meant

And that call from Pam, bout pickin her up, and that text from Jan about takin the bus, and if I was goin to come out.

But I already had plans, so I had to lie, but it was so ingrained,
I thought it was the truth, but after all that time, could you fault me for that trip, to your hometown.

Promises, don't mean a thing

But it wasn't long, until I realized that I wasn't truthing, even to myself

When I said I didn't notice, when I said I didn't care, but I noticed everything and I noticed you weren't there more than I'd care to say.

And about your disappearance, Boy it left a mark but it's faded now, but I'm lyin' once again cause it's colorful as ever and the tv's on full blast and i'm tryin to sober up, with this can of beer.

Promises, don't mean a thing

Do you know this means I love you this smile?

Do you know this means I love you this smile?

Do you know this means I love you this smile?

Do you know this means I love you this smile?
