The Promise

I keep saying it over and over
That I don't want to stay, but I can't see me leavin
Going back and forth in bed at night when I lay. Ugh

We are magnetic, but lately, I'm disconnected
You say that you are neglected. In ways, I feel disrespected
Debates, arguments, and tension. It wasn't like this in the beginnin
As if all that I do is a crime, when really, it isn't
Why's our violet shiftin' to crimson Violence dripped in the mix and
I'm frightened, stricken, and trippin Listen, I don't want this to finish, but from a distance
We look like we're fuckin' diminishin

But, your love is addictin'. Tell me: can we be different
What we once were, I miss it. Oh
Waist-deep in this relation. We bend until we're breakin
But, know I wouldn't trade it for nothing

I keep saying it over and over
That I don't want to stay, but I can't see me leavin
Look me in my face. I promise I will change
I hope that it's not too late

Like the New Year, I think she's ready to countdown
My grip is steady, this chick'll get me to meltdown
I'm being petty, reminding her when we fell out
I'm almost ready, leap of faith. Can't repel down
So what's the point of being mad if you gonna lie
And I don't think at this point that it's gonna fly
And now you really wanna look at me and wonder why
Is today gonna be the day we wanna try?
So, fuck if I'm repenting. This thought's been resented.
Probably regret it. Problems I defended
Not even she meant it. Gotta be demented
My life I cemented, inside of three questions
Am I crazy? Am I broken? Is this ho worth it
And I'm just hoping that this whole thing could go perfect
But I'm just wandering along this road with no purpose
I've got no mic in my hand behind these closed curtains

But your love is addicting
Tell me, can we be different
What we once were, I miss it. Oh
Waist-deep in this relation
We bend until we're breakin
But know I wouldn't trade it for nothing

I keep saying it over and over
That I don't want to stay, but I can't see me leavin
Look me in my face. I promise I will change
I hope that it's not too late
