Lyrics
We built sandcastles that washed away
I made you cry when I walked away, oh
Although I promised that I couldn't stay, baby
Every promise don't work out that way, oh babe
Every promise don't work out that way
Dishes smashed on my counter from our last encounter
Pictures snatched out the frame
Bitch, I scratched out your name and your face
What is it about you that I can't erase, baby?
When every promise don't work out that way, no, no, babe
When every promise don't work out that way
And your heart is broken 'cause I walked away
Show me your scars and I won't walk away, oh
And I know I promised that I couldn't stay, baby (ooh)
Every promise don't work out that way, no, no, no, no, no
Every promise don't work out that way
Writer(s): Malik Yusef El Shabbaz Jones, Beyonce Gisselle Knowles, Midian Mathers, Vincent Adair Berry
