Promising Promises - Jon McLaughlin

I wake up cold and sweaty

Is it morning already?

I hate the sun for setting on yesterday

When I wrote my feelings on the walls and ceilings

Like drugs, I’m dealing, and you just walked away

The trees all sway and swing

The wind and I are both singing

I was giving you everything I had to give

Wasn’t it enough?

All those promising promises were on your lips

But you wouldn’t give them up

So let me just say for the record

That you can spare me the lecture

'Cause ever since I met you I’ve been lonely

Your smile, it don’t hide you

I see the teeth that you lie through

Do I need to remind you that I’m only

Hanging by a string

I close my eyes and spin, singing

I was giving you everything I had to give

Wasn’t it enough?

All those promising promises were on your lips

But you wouldn’t give them up

And I was giving you everything I had to give

Wasn’t it enough?

And all those promising promises were on your lips

But you wouldn’t give them up

And I was giving you everything I had to give

Wasn’t it enough?

All those promising promises were on your lips

But you wouldn’t give them up
