You Promised Lyrics - Brantley Gilbert

She was crying out my name 

Standing in the driveway 

Little bare feet wearing her cotton dress in my way 

I still see the rain chasing tears down her face 

It was back in October when I said it's over and hid 

Behind the door 

Behind the shame of my conviction 

Beside myself 

Beside some empty pill prescription 

Can hear her screamin' now

No baby don't, you making my heart hurt 

Don't say those words 

Take it back 

You know you don't mean that 

You swore when I wore your ring 

It meant forever 

I've got it on baby 

How can you say I lost it 

Oh, you promised 

Started crying while I was sleeping 

Waking up and reaching out 

To a bed as empty as the heart inside my chest 

So I gathered up some pictures 

Said I had some things to give her 

I let her read a letter 

I had written her to give her on the day we tied the knot 

I saw the tears 

I saw them fall as she read the part of my growing old 

I heard her words 

I heard her say it'll never work 

And hit my knees and cried 

No baby don't you're making my heart hurt 

Don't say those words 

Take it back 

You know you don't mean that 

You swore when you wore my ring 

It meant forever 

You've got it on baby 

How can you say you lost it 

Yeah and you promised 

We were different people then 

Look at all the hateful things we've said 

And I'm just as guilty 

But girl that's no way to be 

Take it easy baby I'm still broken 

Memories enough to tear me wide open 

When you see me girl you curse my name 

Makes me wanna say 

No, no baby don't 

You're making my heart hurt 

Don't say those words 

Take it back 

You know you don't mean that 

You know when you wore my ring 

We said forever 

But you took it off baby 

Safe to say we're through 

No matter what you do 

You know I'll always love you 

Well I have to 

I promised
