It all started with you
And lead to a promise
Next Tuesday
He'd be gone and I'd do it
I had no choice
I can't break a promise
You wouldn't have to worry
I thought it would be bliss
I thought it would help
And it did for a moment
When I came home late
That Saturday night
She came to the door
And she yelled till I cried
And I knew at that moment
I'd do it tonight
With regret in my voice
And her leaving my room
I choked out a "wait"
And I begged her to stay
That was the night
I kept my promise to you
I told her about all the pain that I felt
How the voice in my head
Made my life feel like hell
And with tears in my eyes
As I said what I promised
And showed her the scars
On my body
And just as you told me
I said what I could
And I tried to stay honest
