5. Promise

I'm in love with you.

If you feel the same, it doesn't show
That's all that ever gets me low

You help me evey day
You make me feel good

She's in the way
She's Hollywood

I don't know why you prefer her
I don't know why I'm not good enough

Can we go back to the way we were?
This is way too tough

You promised it would be you and me
You promised we'd be forever

We were going to live by the sea
And when I said I knew you'd leave me, you said "never"

I pretend that it's okay
I pretend that I don't care

But the truth can't be kept at bay
I shouldn't have to share

So, I have to ask:
Do I share or lose everything?

Lose my mask?
Or get a ring?

Tell me, my love
Help me out

Is she slightly above?
Can't you hear me?
Do I have to shout?

Tell me,
What's so great about her?

Can't you see?
She's just liquor

I'm worth it,
I promise

Quit making me feel like shit,
Keep your goddamn promise.
