Lyrics for Song: Promises
Lyrics for Album: Road To Ensenada [1996]
(Lovett)
Promises given
And promises broken
Words stain my lips
Just like blood on my hands.
And words are like poison
That sinks down inside you
And some things you do
You just don't understand.
I offer no reason
I ask for no pity
I make no excuse
For the way that I am.
And words are like poison
That sinks down inside you
And some things you do
You just don't understand.
I God is my witness
Then God is my savior
But if you are my judge
Then I'm already damned.
And words are like poison
That sinks down inside you
And some things you do
You just don't understand.
And would if my fingers
To cut off and give you
Could gain my redemption
I'd cut off my hands.
But words are like poison
That bends you and blinds you
And some things you do
You just don't understand.
So this is my story
And I hope that it finds you
For your sweet attention
I cannot demand.
And words are like poison
That lives down inside you
And some things you do
You just don't understand...
