[Verse]

Don’t leave me again

The first time hurt

If there was a second

I don’t know what’s worse

Some want something borrowed

Or covered in dirt

I’d say choose the latter

You only get what you deserve

[Chorus]

I told you

(I’ll never make a promise)

I told you, I told you

I’ll hold you

(That I couldn’t keep)

I’ll hold you, I’ll hold you

[Verse]

You should have been there

But I’d do the same

If you said, “I’m sorry”

I’d still have you to blame

And I would no matter what

You said it’s just a day

You can tell that to my gut

For what you put it through

[Chorus]

I told you

(I’ll never make a promise)

I told you, I told you

I’ll hold you

(That I couldn’t keep)

I’ll hold you, I’ll hold you

[Verse/Outro]

Another night with my trembling fingers hanging over that button

(I need you)

My God, this is pathetic

I mean, look at yourself, you’re unsympathetic, and that’s good

That’s good because I know that you mean it

So go get some caffeine; go get some coffee in that bloodstream

Because you need it. Oh, you need it

But you’re not here. You’re not here, and that was your promise

So what am I supposed to do?

Because I said, “Promise it. Promise it!”

And you said, “I promise. I would never leave you. I would never leave you!”

Was that a lie?

Did you have your fingers crossed behind your back the whole time?

I guess I was blind, or maybe we both were… I don’t know, I don’t know

I gave you everything. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you

And who are you to throw that away?

Who the hell do you think you are?

No, I know who you are. You’re a coward

And you ran away. Not me

We could’ve had everything. We could’ve had everything

Oh, God, don’t leave me

But it doesn’t even matter

It doesn’t matter anymore because it’s been years

It’s been years, and I know I should be over it by now, but I can’t let go

Because everyone will always be you

It was only you, and it was always you

It was always you, and it was only you

Oh, God damn it, I miss you

I miss you
