False Promise

A few more years and we'll be dead

No broken heart could fix this head

A little contemplating

I'm sick of this perpetual waiting

A few more years and you'll be sure

I bet you've always wanted more

A little indecision

I'm thinking I'm not seeing you again

A few more years to fill with dread

Without the guts to leave your head

A little selfishness

Just another footnote on the foot of your bed

"I'm late", she said

With no reference of where or when

Just excuses pouring out her head

To escape all of the promises that she said

Could I be the one to steal the heart you guarded for so long?

Keep pretending that you'll never leave

Just another broken promise that you never meant to keep

Could I be the one to lift you up so high above the sun?

Keep pretending that I'm all you need

Take your pity fucking promises and stay away from me

'Cause I'm waiting, I'm waiting for your call

But I've been too afraid to face the downpour

Make it hurt, make me bleed

How could you lie through your teeth?

Let the pain sink so deep till I can't give you anything

'Cause I waited, I waited for your call

But you didn't have the guts to let me fall

Could I be the one to steal the heart you guarded for so long?

Keep pretending that you'll never leave

Just another broken promise that you never meant to keep

Could I be the one to lift you up so high above the sun?

Keep pretending that I'm all you need

Take your pity fucking promises and stay away from me

Could I be the one?

Just another broken promise that you never meant to keep

Could I be the one?

Take your pity fucking promises and stay away from me
