Promise Made of Sugar

Intro

Oh oh

Mm-hmm

Chorus

You said you still feel the same

Like nothing ever changed since that last night

Giving me a promise made of sugar

Just to let me fall when you take flight

I watch you leave across the county line

Leaving me with nothing but a broken soul

Running from the wreck of what was mine

While I lose every piece of self control

Verse 1

Gas tank full of hopeful dreams

Parked outside the diner where we met

Staring at the door just like a fool

Checking for a ghost I can't forget

Saw your smile through the dirty glass

Standing in the sunlight like a movie queen

Took a second just to let it pass

Nicest thing that I have ever seen

Pre-Chorus

Felt like old times

When your hand was held in mine

Talking fast and laughing low

Saying words I used to know

Chorus

You said you still feel the same

Like nothing ever changed since that last night

Giving me a promise made of sugar

Just to let me fall when you take flight

I watch you leave across the county line

Leaving me with nothing but a broken soul

Running from the wreck of what was mine

While I lose every piece of self control

Verse 2

Suitcase in the back of your sedan

Packed up while the kettle started to hiss

Empty hallway where you used to stand

Killing all the flavor of your kiss

Why you gotta go and play this game

Turning every blessing to a heavy curse

Tired of always hearing out your name

Watching every single day get worse

Pre-Chorus

Felt like old times

When your hand was held in mine

Talking fast and laughing low

Saying words I used to know

Chorus

You said you still feel the same

Like nothing ever changed since that last night

Giving me a promise made of sugar

Just to let me fall when you take flight

I watch you leave across the county line

Leaving me with nothing but a broken soul

Running from the wreck of what was mine

While I lose every piece of self control

Bridge

Coming and going

Fast and slowing

A heart that's tattered and torn

Regret is newly born

The patterns repeat

The cycle's complete

Chorus

You said you still feel the same

Like nothing ever changed since that last night

Giving me a promise made of sugar

Just to let me fall when you take flight

I watch you leave across the county line

Leaving me with nothing but a broken soul

Running from the wreck of what was mine

While I lose every piece of self-control
