Promise

The shaking of my hands, I'm hearing the door slam

Ahhhhh

The echo of footsteps, your scent still on my dress

Scattered all around me, the words you once told me

Shattered, jagged, I can't recognize them now

Fragments on the floor, as usual,

You left your mess behind

And if you come back crying, begging on your knees

You might find this time I am harder to please

So run off with the promise that you couldn't keep

And when she's lying in your bed,

I know you're thinking of me

Now I'm feeling anxious, but slightly mischievous

The tearing of my heart,

One more thread and I'll fall apart

But I don't have time for tears now,

You're the one who should fear now

Ahhhhhh

My wrath is not to be tested, babe, but I must confess it

I'm kind of impressed

You found someone to take your shit

I know you can't deal with conflict

And I might hurt, but I will sleep just fine tonight

And if you come back crying, begging on your knees

You might find this time I am harder to please

So run off with the promise that you couldn't keep

And when she's lying in your bed,

I know you're thinking of me

So many things we swore, while your lips were stained by hers

Four years poured down the drain, and you dare to curse my name

I guess you're better off, she'll never call your bluff

But your lies are catching up, and I know you'll self-destruct

And does she know at the time that you bought me a ring

Gave me her lacy underwear you thought belonged to me

Well run off with a woman who will fall for your schemes

And when you're lying to her face,

I know you're thinking of me

And if you come back crying, begging on your knees

You might find this time I am harder to please (harder to please)

So run off with the promise that you couldn't keep

And when she's lying in your bed, I know you're thinking of me

Ohh (Ohh)

I know you're thinking of me

Ohh (Ohh)

I know you're thinking of me
