We built sandcastles that washed away
I made you cry when I walked away
Oh, and although I promised that I couldn't stay, baby
Every promise don't work out that way
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?
Every promise don't work out that way, oh babe
Well 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
Oh, I promised
I promised that I couldn't stay
Every promise
Oh, promise
Don't work out that way, no no no no no
Every promise don't work out that way
Mmm
