promises

• you better believe i’m coming
  you better believe what i say
  you better hold on to your promises
  because you bet, you’ll get what you deserve
  she’s going to leave him over
  she’s gonna take her love away
  so much for you eternal wows, well
  it does not matter anyway
  
  why can’t you stay here a while
  stay here a while
  stay with me
  
  oh, all the promises we made
  all the meaningless and empty words
  i prayed, prayed, prayed
  oh, all the promises we broke
  all the meaningless and empty words
  i spoke, spoke, spoke
  
  what of all the things that you've taught me
  what of all the things that you’d say
  what of all your prophetic preaching
  you’re just throwing it all away
  maybe we should burn the house down
  have ourselves another fight
  leave the cobwebs in the closet
  cos tearing them out is just not right
