Promise Songtext
von MUNA

I told a lot of lies
And called it a compromise
To keep you in your seats
I was so afraid to lose
But the things that I did to you
You would never do to me

Why do I? (Why do I?)
Why-hy-hy-hy
Why do I do it?
Why do I do it, huh?

You wanna (you wanna) hold my hand
I make a fist, a false promise
And even if you said you would forgive me
I don′t know if I could ever say I'm sorry


I don′t know if I (I don't know if I)
(You said you would)
I don't know if I can (ooh yeah)
I don′t know if I (I don′t know if I)
(You said you would)
I don't know if I can

So I look at you now
Bruised and broken down
By what you thought was love

You tell me you wanna stay
And you wanna watch me changed
But I′m scared, so I tell you to fuck off

Why do I? (Why do I?)
Why-hy-hy-hy
Why do I do it?
Why do I do it, huh?

You wanna (you wanna) hold my hand
And make a fierce, a false promise
And even if you said you would forgive me
I don't know if I could ever say I′m sorry


I don't know if I (I don′t know if I)
(You said you would)
I don't know if I can (ooh yeah)
I don't know if I (I don′t know if I)
(You said you would)
I don′t know if I can

Mean-hearted girls will kill their loves to hurt themselves
They can't believe that they deserve anything else
And even if you said you know that I′m sorry
I don't know if I could ever forgive me

I don′t know if I (I don't know if I)
(You said you would)
I don′t know if I can (ooh yeah)
I don't know if I (I don't know if I)
(You said you would)
I don′t know if I can

I don′t know if I (I don't know if I), ooh
I don′t know if I can (ooh yeah)
I don't know if I, oh-oh-oh (ooh)
I don′t know if I can (ooh yeah)

I told a lot of lies
And I called it a compromise
To keep you (you said you would)
