You Promised

[Verse 1] She was crying out my name Standing in the driveway Little bare feet wearing her cotton dress in my way I still see the rain chasing tears down her face It was back in October when I said it's over and hid Behind the door Behind the shame of my conviction Beside myself Beside some empty pill prescription Can hear her screaming now [Chorus] No baby don't, you're making my heart hurt Don't say those words Take it back You know you don't mean that You swore when I wore your ring It meant forever I've got it on baby How can you say I lost it Oh, you promised [Verse 2] Started crying while I was sleeping Waking up and reaching out To a bed as empty as the heart inside my chest So I gathered up some pictures Said I had some things to give her I let her read a letter I had written her to give her on the day we tied the knot I saw the tears I saw them fall as she read the part of my growing old I heard her words I heard her say it'll never work And hit my knees and cried [Chorus] No baby don't, you're making my heart hurt Don't say those words Take it back You know you don't mean that You swore when I wore your ring It meant forever I've got it on baby How can you say I lost it Oh, you promised [Bridge] We were different people then Look at all the hateful things we've said And I'm just as guilty But girl that's no way to be Take it easy baby I'm still broken Memories enough to tear me wide open When you see me girl you curse my name Makes me want to say [Chorus] No, no baby don't You're making my heart hurt Don't say those words Take it back You know you don't mean that You know when you wore my ring We said forever But you took it off baby Safe to say we're through No matter what you do You know I'll always love you Well I have to Because I promised
