[Verse 1] You said “I’m trying” Same script New timing Hearts getting cold Your eyes already gone All those plans on paper Folded in the ashtray You talk like it’s forever Then you drift away [Pre-Chorus] Every word Feels rehearsed You just change The date and place [Chorus] Empty promises Spilling from your lips again Every “I’ll do better” Just another way to stay the same You paint the future But you never let the colors stick Empty promises Heavy And they never fix [Verse 2] You swear you’re “almost there” I’ve heard it for a year Boxes in the hallway You never move them out I hold on to the pieces You scatter on the floor You swear this is the last time I don’t believe you anymore [Pre-Chorus] Every word Tastes rehearsed Sugar on A rusted blade [Chorus] Empty promises Spilling from your lips again Every “I’ll do better” Just another way to stay the same You paint the future But you never let the colors stick Empty promises Heavy And they never fix [Bridge] Funny how you say you care Only when I’m walking out Now you’re begging me to stay I’ve heard this speech a thousand times [Chorus] Empty promises Falling in the same old way Every “I’ll do better” Just a different way to make me wait You draw a future But you never let the colors stick Empty promises I’m done being the one you trick
