You're too scared to leave

And I can't fall asleep in your arms

If it's love that you need

Then I'm not the one to take it from

It took you two drinks to say that you love me

And three to believe what you say

And it's not hard to see I was hungry

But at least I still got a taste

So Ill make a promise that I can keep

when you go back to sleep

The bed will be empty

All that I have

Is a picture of you on my wall

But it's better to have

Than nothing at all

I know that you hate me for leaving,

And you know that I hate you for not

But I'd rather exist in a memory

Than be the man you wish you forgot

I'll make you a promise that I can keep

When you go back to sleep

The bed will be empty

You'll be back in a flash

Like a pill that's too hard to swallow

With your counterfeit cash

In a stack that's too high to count

So I'll call a cab

Just so I have some kind of escape plan

For my getaway driver is someone that I used to trust

I'll make a promise that I can keep

when you go back to sleep

The bed will be empty
