"I forgot my necklace," she said
Holding in a cry
You called it cinematic
And took a picture with your eyes
Golden hour leaves were falling
I love you as you are
I understood the story
But I was all wrong for the part
I never promised to come home
You never promised me you'd wait
But a promise is a play thing
Guaranteed to break
When we met, I was not alone
I was even less
I didn't have my own two hands
For my heavy head to rest
In awe of the sunrise
Like it's finally come to stay
You say it burns each morning
I swear it didn't yesterday
I never promised to come home
You never promised me you'd wait
But a promise is a play thing
Guaranteed to break
I could give something I don't have
To someone I don't know
You could take something you don't need
From someone you can control
The angel's bow and arrow
Is a pebble and a slingshot
I love you as much as possible
Until I want to stop
I never promised to come home
You never promised me you'd wait
But a promise is a play thing
Guaranteed to break
