Promise Lyrics by Maya Hawke
“I forgot my necklace,” she said
Holding in a cry
You called it cinematic and took a picture with your eyes
Golden hour leaves were falling
I love you as you are
I understood the story, but I was all wrong for the part
I never promised to come home
You never promised me you’d wait
But a promise is a play thing
Guaranteed to break
When we met I was not alone
I was even less
I didn’t have my own two hands
For my heavy head to rest
In all the sunrise
Like it’s finally come to stay
He says it burns each morning
I swear it didn’t yesterday
I never promised to come home
You never promised me you’d wait
But a promise is a play thing
Guaranteed to break
Could give something I don’t have to someone I don’t know
You could take something you don’t need from someone you can control
The angels bow and arrow is a pebble and a slingshot
I love you as much as possible
Until I wanna stop
(Ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha, ha)
I never promised to come home
You never promised me you’d wait
But a promise is a play thing
Guaranteed to break
