Promises

On a summer night
As you pull me closer
Baby, please don't cry
Isn't this what you had hoped for
Sorry to say that we can't just go back
Pretend like you tried
and We'll leave it at that
Wouldn't you hate to admit that you did this to yourself
And you're throwing away happiness with both hands
Just blame it on miles
But you knew all the while
Don't tell me that it's better off this way
And you started to say the words you run to so quickly
Can you make me believe that I shouldn't leave
These lights reveal your face so differently
So make promises that we both know you wont keep
Leave it to me to believe in your eyes
I'm calling you out on your only regret
More like regret is calling you
My dear in the headlights so cold and alone
And you're throwing away happiness with both hands
Just blame it on miles
But you knew all the while
Don't tell me that it's better off this way
And you started to say the words you run to so quickly
Can you make me believe that I shouldn't leave
These lights reveal your face so differently
And she whispers in my ear
"Promise me when you're not here, promise to never let me go"
And you're throwing away happiness with both hands
Just blame it on miles
But you knew all the while
Don't tell me that it's better off this way
And you started to say the words you run to so quickly
Can you make me believe that I shouldn't leave
These lights reveal your face so differently
On a summer night
As you pull me closer
Baby, please don't cry
Isn't this what you had hoped for
