Promises
(Rob Christensen)
Hey! Your words are running through my head.
All those things I thought you said.
You frustrate me with cute wordplay.
And “maybe another day.”
Why did I always come when you called?
Why did I try at all?
You picked me up and spun me around.
And dropped me right to the ground.
You promised you wouldn’t make a mess of me.
You promised me you’d be my everything.
You promised you wouldn’t make my stomach spin.
You promised me you’d be there in the end.
Hey! The presents mean I really tried.
I’m sorry you’re dissatisfied.
You told me everything was all right.
Then you just said “Goodnight.”
You promised me you wouldn’t just turn away.
You promised me we’d spend some sunny days.
You promised you wouldn’t hurt me with the truth.
The truth hits hardest when I don’t hear from you.
Hey! Your words are running through my head.
All those things I thought you said.
You turned me with a twist of your tongue.
Maybe I’m just too dumb.
