Lyle Lovett - Promises текст песни

Promises given

And promises broken

Words stain my lips

Just like blood on my hands

And words are like poison

That sinks down inside you

And some things you do

You just dont understand

I offer no reason

I ask for no pity

I make no excuse

For the way that I am

And words are like poison

That sinks down inside you

And some things you do

You just dont understand

I God is my witness

Then God is my savior

But if you are my judge

Then Im already damned

And words are like poison

That sinks down inside you

And some things you do

You just dont understand

And would if my fingers

To cut off and give you

Could gain my redemption

Id cut off my hands

But words are like poison

That bends you and blinds you

And some things you do

You just dont understand

So this is my story

And I hope that it finds you

For your sweet attention

I cannot demand

And words are like poison

That lives down inside you

And some things you do

You just dont understand
