[Verse 1] I showed up when I said Even when it cut deep I held the line, I bled Still, you let it slip from me I gave you all I had No half-truths, no cheap escape I stayed through good and bad Now I know the shape of pain [Pre-Chorus] I don't need applause I don't need a crown I just need your truth When the room goes down [Chorus] I promised, I kept my word I promised, I kept my word But next time, this won't work Next time, this won't work (Next time, this won't work) [Verse 2] You came back soft and low With your hands full of excuses Said you needed one more chance But I can see right through it I was the one who stayed When the doors were slamming shut Now the silence in your face Says enough, says enough [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a reason I don't need a speech I gave you my yes Now I'm taking it back clean [Chorus] I promised, I kept my word I promised, I kept my word But next time, this won't work Next time, this won't work (Next time, this won't work) [Bridge] So call it what it is A line you crossed too far I won't beg for what was broken I won't chase who you are And if you come around With that same old empty look Save it for the dark I already read the book [Final Chorus] I promised, I kept my word I promised, I kept my word But next time, this won't work Next time, this won't work (Next time, this won't work) I promised, I kept my word But next time, this won't work (Next time, this won't work)
