Empty Promises

You keep filling my Filling my head With empty promises And to be honest it's No good for me I keep writing songs but you just take away the meaning Like even if you believed em, somehow feels like I can't seem to Cause we get less than a billion words Til we're gone And girl it's silly but I'm just not really Involved No not Emotionally Cause you made me so damn insensitive I was hoping that we Could just move past this phase and end with A promise you'll keep Like I do But I can't Cause I don't Understand Why you Hold out your hands Like you'll catch me When you just let me fall And I go all in But that's me Cause I just trust you Even though I know That you hurt me It serves me Right Cause I keep opening my arms And I keep holding down my guard For you to shoot me in the heart You backstabber And now you tell me that it doesn't matter What happened yesterday We'll make our way up the social ladder Is that what this is all about Why you've been running off your mouth Telling me to smile How it's contagious when I'm down How You keep filling my Filling my head With empty promises And to be honest it's No good for me I've been telling my Telling myself That empty promises Can't be this obvious No, I won't believe You tell me that you're gonna start treating me better When I get a letter in the mail saying I made it, I'll see heaven And you say that everything's goin be the way it is on television That just seems like tunnel vision Tell me why I ever listened I can almost taste it Our future looks so amazing On paper But the second we start having babies You're goin try to name em And raise em to be exactly like you are But I don't want a son or daughter who's first instinct/impulse is to harm If they don't get their way They'll just try manipulation But I wanna teach em patience I've been waiting like you'll change but Right now I can't see it happening babe I know we laugh and it ain't Always that bad but I can't Be in love with a nature I hate Like a character trait That I'm swearing I'll break But I'm tearing the page And the ink just won't fade It's forever ingrained In your mind And I'd like to think, hey, Probably so am I But I know we're surrounded by lies And deep down you know right From the wrong and you'll try When I'm gone But I can't anymore When can I see some heaven, so I can move on Cause it feels like I'm dead I'm a mess But you just keep Messing with my head You keep filling my Filling my head With empty promises And to be honest it's No good for me I've been telling my Telling myself That empty promises Can't be this obvious No, I won't believe The words you say Are like hand grenades Disguised to blow up in my face You play the game Like it's bad charades You lead me on with something fake You keep filling my Filling my head With empty promises And to be honest it Not meant to be
