We were two kids chasing lightning Talking about forever on a Friday night

You swore to me you'd always be honest Said you'd stick to your promise

Hold on tight, but forever don't mean much When you're running round leaving scars

And now I'm sitting here with empty hands Wondering how you slipped out of my arms

Cause you didn't stick to your promise Just long enough to break my heart

And I keep trying to let you go But damn it's tearing me apart

And I keep asking God, why her, why now? He said time to let it stand somehow

He's trying to make me stronger For a love that'll last

But in this moment, girl It hurts like hell right now

I still drive past your mama's house sometimes Still catch myself hearing your name in the wind

Every memory tastes like whiskey Burning slow, cutting deep all over again

You're a wildfire in my chest Bright, beautiful and out of control

And I guess I should've known Something that I don't see long in the cold

Cause you didn't stick to your promise Just long enough to break my heart

And I keep trying to let you go But damn it's tearing me apart

And I keep asking God, why her, why now? He said time to let it stand somehow

He's trying to make me stronger For a love that'll last

But in this moment, girl It hurts like hell right now

One day I'll thank the pain One day this won't feel the same

But tonight I'm just a broken man Standing in the pouring rain

You didn't stick to your promise Just long enough to tear me down

And I'm still trying to move on From pieces scattered underground

And I keep asking God, how long till peace? He said, two times, just trust in me

He's building me up For a love that'll last

But right here, right now

It hurts like hell and that's a fact Yeah, you said stronger days are coming

But tonight, girl It hurts like hell right now
