Promises
I know you wouldn't bring it up if you didn't love me
I know I'm lucky I'm not living all alone
Why would anyone ever wanna make things worse
Why would I wanna make you sad, when the truth is known
I promise to stop making promises to you
Quit saying I'll quit when you're forcing me to
Can't keep you from trying, so I'll keep just this one
You'll be the first to know, when I'm finally done
Not gonna set a date, I'll make you wait 'till I'm ready
I know it hurts you too, when I'm not stable or steady
I know it's 'cause you care, but it's uncalled for
And I don't ever want to let you down anymore
No more declarations of what I'll do
No more expectations to live up to
I promise to stop making promises to you
On one hand I understand why you're unhappy with me
On the other you're not my mother and I'm a grown man
A part of me believes that what I'm doing is wrong
A part of you needs me to be the best that I can
I promise to stop making promises to you
Quit saying I'll quit when you're forcing me to
Can't keep you from trying, so I'll keep just this one
You'll be the first to know, when I'm finally done
Not gonna set a date, I'll make you wait 'till I'm ready
I know it hurts you too, when I'm not stable or steady
I know it's 'cause you care, but it's uncalled for
And I don't ever want to let you down anymore
No more declarations of what I'll do
No more expectations to live up to
I promise to stop making promises to you
I know I'm lucky I'm not living all alone
Why would anyone ever wanna make things worse
Why would I wanna make you sad, when the truth is known
I promise to stop making promises to you
Quit saying I'll quit when you're forcing me to
Can't keep you from trying, so I'll keep just this one
You'll be the first to know, when I'm finally done
Not gonna set a date, I'll make you wait 'till I'm ready
I know it hurts you too, when I'm not stable or steady
I know it's 'cause you care, but it's uncalled for
And I don't ever want to let you down anymore
No more declarations of what I'll do
No more expectations to live up to
I promise to stop making promises to you
On one hand I understand why you're unhappy with me
On the other you're not my mother and I'm a grown man
A part of me believes that what I'm doing is wrong
A part of you needs me to be the best that I can
I promise to stop making promises to you
Quit saying I'll quit when you're forcing me to
Can't keep you from trying, so I'll keep just this one
You'll be the first to know, when I'm finally done
Not gonna set a date, I'll make you wait 'till I'm ready
I know it hurts you too, when I'm not stable or steady
I know it's 'cause you care, but it's uncalled for
And I don't ever want to let you down anymore
No more declarations of what I'll do
No more expectations to live up to
I promise to stop making promises to you
