Empty Promise

Now I look like the bad guy 'Cause you left me to run and cry Didn't think I'd realize that behind dry eyes I'd need the same Attention Now that you mention I'm guessing friends isn't quite in question But if we're being honest You're just an empty promise We were a bullet wound covered by a bandaid I only ripped it 'cause I knew it wouldn't stop the pain I hate it when you say my name You put me in the lineup even when you knew you were the one to blame I loved you with my eyes closed Felt safe behind a blindfold I'm not who you want me to be Vilify me I'm sorry I'm better without you Now I look like the bad guy 'Cause you left me to run and cry Didn't think I'd realize that behind dry eyes I'd need the same Attention Now that you mention I'm guessing friends isn't quite in question But if we're being honest You're just an empty promise Loving you was a performance Bending backwards just to show ya I adore ya Yet every show I got no roses Just empty seats that seem to me to be the piece that I could not complete I loved you with my eyes closed Felt safe behind a blindfold I'm not who you want me to be Vilify me I'm sorry I'm better without you Now I look like the bad guy 'Cause you left me to run and cry Didn't think I'd realize that behind dry eyes I'd need the same Attention Now that you mention I'm guessing friends isn't quite in question But if we're being honest You're just an empty promise
