promise - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I know that this is all you've known

For all of it's worth

For all your life

And that's just how it is

Crotchet me a voodoo doll

This time I decide

If I win

Or if I get to lose

Painful, but that's just how it is when you lose yourself

In someone else

But what do I know?

Strangely, it all seemed to stop right after I left

And back home every house starts losing space

Drawers ran through, choices made

Oh my god, I thought about it for a minute then stopped

Fucking myself over won't get me any further

Looks like I did nothing but talk a lot

(Talk a lot!)

Like I said, the thought was hanging on the back of my head

And the city's hero turned his back in the end

The end, there was no saving left

You know that you can't fix the cold in the wintertime

You know that even if you pull the strings you flatline

But nothing matters like it does when I'm near you

And nothing matters like it does when I'm there

And nothing matters like it does when I'm near you

And nothing matters like it does...

I know how it feels when giving up

Part of you pays back

Everyone had someone tell them that they're not enough

You took it and laughed

Riding on a promise, you won't ever say so

You threw out your microphone, took the bus and went home

Now I get the feeling it's some kind of syndrome

You said that you hated it, why didn't you say so?

Why didn't you say? Why didn't you say so?

There's nothing else I would've said

(I tried!)
